Frailty as a Cardiovascular Compass 🧭📉🩻
Manage episode 491260793 series 2740117
🚨 Frailty matters — even in the cath lab! 🧓🫀
A new NCDR registry analysis of 1.3M+ older adults shows a clear gradient: as frailty increases, so do complications, mortality, and procedural risks during PCI. Severely frail patients faced a striking 20.3% in-hospital mortality and >50% mortality with cardiogenic shock.
🧠 It’s time to treat frailty as a vital sign — embedded in our workflow, guiding shared decisions, and shaping post-PCI care.
📊 Let’s bring team-based, geriatric-informed strategies to the forefront of interventional cardiology.
