Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome caused by functional and structural abnormalities of the left ventricle (LV) resulting in a combination of typical signs and symptoms. Historically, HF has been classified according to LV ejection fraction (EF) as either HF with reduced EF (HFrEF; LVEF <40%) or HF with preserved EF (HFpEF; LVEF >50%).1,2 The 2016 European Society of Cardiology (ESC)…

Because of the ageing population in industrialised countries, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease has dramatically increased.1 In particular, heart failure (HF) has become a major public health problem and the leading cause of morbidity, hospitalisation and mortality in older people.2,3
Patients with HF, especially the oldest, are often characterised by a “vulnerability status” due to the…

The first paper that referred to the problem of ‘frail elderly patients’ was published in 1953, and frailty syndrome (FS) was first described in the 1990s.1,2 Although it has long been recognised and diagnosed, no consensus definition of this clinical syndrome has been established. The Second International Working Meeting on Frailty and Aging in 2006 concluded that FS involves increased…

The development of pulmonary oedema does not necessarily indicate a cardiac cause and of the cardiac causes for pulmonary oedema, not all can be attributed to left ventricular failure.1 The majority of women developing symptoms and signs of heart failure during pregnancy have no known pre-existing cardiomyopathy.
