Brain disorders, including stroke, mental disturbances and cognitive impairment are distinct from the comorbidities traditionally…

In developed countries, it is estimated that 1–2 % of the adult population has heart failure (HF), with the prevalence increasing to more than 10 % in those aged >70 years.1 Despite advances in therapies for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), it remains a condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality, punctuated by episodes of unplanned hospitalisation.2

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…

Innovative patient-centred interventions are required to improve the self-management of complex, costly and relapsing conditions, such as heart failure (HF). Mobile health (mHealth) technology is a promising tool that could potentially help us reach these goals, but evidence of its clinical benefits and the security of personal health information is still scarce. In view of the increasing number…
