Long-term changes in frailty and incident atrial fibrillation: multicenter prospective cohort study
This large population study on about 50.000 subjects investigates the associations of long-term changes in frailty with incident AF. Its associations with heart failure (HF), coronary heart disease (CHD), and stroke were also evaluated as a secondary aim.

Frailty in general cardiology consensus document
Frailty evaluation and management has become one of the major issues in general cardiology practice, due to the ageing population with cardiovascular diseases, often also affected by other components of disability and comorbidity. This position paper is a useful tool to guide practitioners.
Frailty in cardiology: definition, assessment and clinical implications for general cardiology. A consensus document of the Council for Cardiology Practice (CCP), Association for Acute Cardio Vascular Care (ACVC), Association of Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions (ACNAP), European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC), European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), Council on Valvular Heart Diseases (VHD), Council on Hypertension (CHT), Council of Cardio-Oncology (CCO), Working Group (WG) Aorta and Peripheral Vascular Diseases, WG e-Cardiology, WG Thrombosis, of the European Society of Cardiology, European Primary Care Cardiology Society (EPCCS) | European Journal of Preventive Cardiology | Oxford Academic

Digital health in older adults for the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases and frailty, clinical consensus statement
The paper highlights the potential benefits and challenges of digital health in older patients with cardiovascular diseases and frailty.
Digital health in older adults for the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases and frailty. A clinical consensus statement from the ESC Council for Cardiology Practice/Taskforce on Geriatric Cardiology, the ESC Digital Health Committee and the ESC Working Group on e-Cardiology
Survey on arterial hypertension management: a report from the ESC Council for Cardiology Practice and the ESC Council on Hypertension
77.4% of 1458 responders to the survey consider Guidelines targets of blood pressure right. Low patient compliance, awareness of hypertension (HT) risk, and, at a lower degree, physician inertia, represent the main treatment challenges in reaching BP goals to most respondents, while treatment effectiveness is not in question.
Management of hypertension in the elderly and frail patient
Blood pressure targets in hypertensive older and frail patients are not completely defined and specific individual evaluations of co-morbidities and frailty, together with weighted consideration of drug use, may help in finding the appropriate therapy
Task Force on Geriatric Cardiology
