TAVR in Older Adults: Moving Toward a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment and Away From Chronological Age: JACC Family Series. JACC. ADVANCES 2024; 3:100877.

Abstract
Calcific aortic stenosis can be considered a model for geriatric cardiovascular conditions due to a confluence of factors. The remarkable technological development of transcatheter aortic valve replacement was studied initially on older adult populations with prohibitive or high-risk for surgical valve replacement. Through these trials, the cardiovascular community has recognized that stratification of these chronologically older adults can be improved incrementally by invoking the concept of frailty and other geriatric risks. Given the complexity of the aging process, stratification by chronological age should only be the initial step but is no longer sufficient to optimally quantify cardiovascular and noncardiovascular risk. In this review, we employ a geriatric cardiology lens to focus on the diagnosis and the comprehensive management of aortic stenosis in older adults to enhance shared decision-making with patients and their families and optimize patient-centered outcomes. Finally, we highlight knowledge gaps that are critical for future areas of study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study cognitive functions in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) before and in the long-term after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy and to study factors that negatively affect cognitive status. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and twenty-four patients with CTEPH were examined before and 6 months after surgery with an assessment of cognitive impairment using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify factors affecting the MMSE indicators before and in the long-term postoperative periods. RESULTS Initially, patients with CTEPH had a total MMSE score 23.8±1.1. Six months after surgery, the score was 26.1±1.9 (p<0.001). A history of stroke, disability, stress (loss of spouse), and a high Charleson comorbidity index were independent factors affecting MMSE score before surgery. After surgery, the total MMSE score was influenced by a history of stroke, stress (loss of spouse), residual pulmonary hypertension and atrial fibrillation in the early postoperative period. CONCLUSION Cognitive impairment in the form of mild dementia was observed in patients with CTEPH before surgery. Six months after the operation, an improvement in cognitive status was revealed, which corresponded to moderate cognitive impairment. At the same time, no complete recovery of cognitive functions was recorded. Patients with CTEPH still experienced the greatest difficulties in the following areas: concentration and counting, memory. A history of stroke, disability, stress (loss of spouse), and a high comorbidity index are associated with a decrease in MMSE scores before surgery. Six months after surgery, MMSE score was affected by a history of stroke, stress (loss of spouse), residual pulmonary hypertension and atrial fibrillation in the early postoperative period.

Abstract
Diagnostic and therapeutic advances during the past decades have substantially improved health outcomes for patients with acute coronary syndrome. Both age-related physiological changes and accumulated cardiovascular risk factors increase the susceptibility to acute coronary syndrome over a lifetime. Compared with younger patients, outcomes for acute coronary syndrome in the large and growing demographic of older adults are relatively worse. Increased atherosclerotic plaque burden and complexity of anatomic disease, compounded by age-related cardiovascular and noncardiovascular comorbid conditions, contribute to the worse prognosis observed in older individuals. Geriatric syndromes, including frailty, multimorbidity, impaired cognitive and physical function, polypharmacy, and other complexities of care, can undermine the therapeutic efficacy of guidelines-based treatments and the resiliency of older adults to survive and recover, as well. In this American Heart Association scientific statement, we (1) review age-related physiological changes that predispose to acute coronary syndrome and management complexity; (2) describe the influence of commonly encountered geriatric syndromes on cardiovascular disease outcomes; and (3) recommend age-appropriate and guideline-concordant revascularization and acute coronary syndrome management strategies, including transitions of care, the use of cardiac rehabilitation, palliative care services, and holistic approaches. The primacy of individualized risk assessment and patient-centered care decision-making is highlighted throughout.

Abstract
Cardiovascular multidisciplinary heart teams (MDHTs) have evolved significantly over the past decade. These teams play a central role in the treatment of a wide array of cardiovascular diseases affecting interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, interventional imaging, advanced heart failure, adult congenital heart disease, cardio-oncology, and cardio-obstetrics. To meet the specific needs of both patients and heart programs, the composition and function of cardiovascular MDHTs have had to adapt and evolve. Although lessons have been learned from multidisciplinary cancer care, best practices for the operation of cardiovascular MDHTs have yet to be defined, and the evidence base supporting their effectiveness is limited. This expert panel review discusses the history and evolution of cardiovascular MDHTs, their composition and role in treating patients across a broad spectrum of disciplines, basic tenets for successful operation, and the future challenges facing them.

Invasive Management in Older Adults (≥80 Years) With Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction. Mayo Clin Proc 2022; 97:1247-1256. [PMID: 35787854 DOI: 10.1016/j.mayocp.2022.03.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of invasive management (coronary angiogram) with all-cause mortality among older adult (≥80 years of age) patients presenting with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) by frailty status. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study used a retrospective cohort of consecutive older adult patients who were hospitalized with NSTEMI as their primary clinical diagnosis between August 1, 2008, and December 31, 2019. Cox regression models were applied with stratification by frailty status (low, medium, and high). Extensive sensitivity analyses were conducted including propensity score matching and inverse probability treatment weighting models. RESULTS The study population included 2317 patients with median age of 86 years (IQR, 83-90 years) of whom 1243 (53.6%) were men. Patients who were managed invasively (n=581 [25%]) were less likely to be frail (7% vs 44%, P<.001). During the follow-up (median, 19 months, IQR, 4-41 months), 1599 (69%) patients died. In a multivariable Cox model, invasive approach was associated with adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 0.61 (95% CI, 0.53 to 0.71) for the risk of death. The benefit of invasive approach was consistent among low, medium, and high frailty subgroups with adjusted HRs of 0.74 (95% CI, 0.58 to 0.93), 0.65 (95% CI, 0.50 to 0.85), and 0.52 (95% CI, 0.34 to 0.78), respectively (P for interaction = 0.48). Results were consistent with propensity score matching and inverse probability treatment weighting analyses (HR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.50 to 0.71 and HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.55 to 0.82, respectively). Sensitivity analysis addressing potential immortal time bias and residual confounding yielded similar results. CONCLUSION Invasive approach is associated with improved survival among older adults with NSTEMI irrespective of frailty status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether the prevalence of frailty and its clinical significance are relevant to treatment outcomes in younger (aged < 65 years) cancer patients remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of frailty on treatment outcomes in younger cancer patients with head and neck and esophageal malignancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS This multicenter prospective study recruited 502 patients with locally advanced head and neck and esophageal cancer during 2016-2017 in Taiwan, aged 20-64 years who received curative-intent concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) as first-line antitumor treatment. Baseline frailty assessment using geriatric assessment (GA) was performed for each patient within 7 days before CCRT initiation. RESULTS Frailty was observed in 169 (33.7%) of 502 middle-aged patients. Frail patients had significantly higher incidences of chemotherapy incompletion (16.6% versus 3.3%, P < .001) and radiotherapy incompletion (16.6% versus 3.6%, P < .001) than fit patients. During CCRT, frail patients had a significantly higher percentage of hospitalizations (42.0% versus 24.6%, P < .001) and a trend toward a higher percentage of emergency room visits (37.9% versus 30.0%, P = .08) than fit patients. Frail patients more likely had a significantly higher incidence of grade ≥ 3 adverse events than fit patients during CCRT. The 1-year survival rate was 68.7% and 85.2% (hazard ratio 2.56, 95% confidence interval 1.80-3.63, P < .001) for frail and fit patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the significance of pretreatment frailty on treatment tolerance, treatment-related toxicity, and survival outcome in younger patients with head and neck and esophageal cancer undergoing CCRT. While GA is commonly targeted toward the older population, frailty assessment by GA may also be utilized in younger patients for decision-making guidance and prognosis prediction.

Abstract
With the improvement of living standards, people have more and more physical health problems. Among them, high-risk cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease are the most prominent. The number of cardiology patients is increasing year by year. Effectively improving the treatment of cardiology patients and speeding up the recovery of cardiology patients have become a social problem. This article aims to explore the impact of diverse nursing care on patients in cardiology treatment. This article first gives a detailed introduction to the treatment of diverse nursing and cardiology diseases, then takes 300 cardiology patients in our hospital as experimental subjects, and conducts a controlled experiment of nursing intervention, which is categorized into an experimental group of 150 cases (including 35 cases of hypertension, 46 cases of diabetes, 28 cases of coronary heart disease, 24 cases of angina pectoris, and 17 cases of multiple complications) and a control group of 150 cases (including 30 cases of hypertension, 47 cases of diabetes, 39 cases of coronary heart disease, 21 cases of angina pectoris, and 13 cases of multiple complications). The experimental results showed the following: the general information of the two groups of patients was not statistically different (P > 0.05); after the nursing intervention, the blood glucose levels of the two groups of patients decreased, but the experimental group decreased more significantly and the blood glucose control effect was more obvious; after the intervention, in the experimental group that implemented diversified nursing interventions, the patient's condition management effect was better and their scores were between 8 and 10; the mental state self-evaluation of the two groups of patients was significantly different from the domestic reference value (P < 0.05), and there is a very significant statistical difference between the two groups after nursing intervention (P < 0.01); after nursing intervention, compared with the control group, the quality of life of the experimental group improved more significantly and the highest score reached about 70; the overall satisfaction of the experimental group with nursing work reached 92%, while the satisfaction of the control group with nursing work was only 44.67%. Studies have shown that diversified care has a positive impact on the rehabilitation of patients in cardiology treatment.

Healthcare practices and interventions in Europe towards families of older patients with cardiovascular disease: A scoping review. Scand J Caring Sci 2021; 36:320-345.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Europe, cardiovascular disease is one of the predominant causes of mortality and morbidity among older people over 65 years. The occurrence of cardiovascular disease can have a negative impact on the quality of life of older patients and their families and family health overall. Assuming that illness is a family affair shaped by culture and health care systems, we explored European health care practices and interventions toward families of older patients with cardiovascular disease and heart failure. AIMS This paper aimed to determine the extent, range, and variety of practices and interventions in Europe directed to families of older patients and to identify knowledge gaps. MATERIALS & METHODS A scoping review was conducted including studies published in Medline, CINHAL, or Cochrane library between 2009 and mid-2020. RESULTS A total of 22 articles from 17 studies were included, showing diverse practices and interventions. The interventions targeted the family as a unit (six studies), dyads (five studies), patients alone, but assessed family members' reactions (five studies) or the family member primarily, but assessed the reaction of the patient (one study). Target outcomes were family caregiver burden; health-related QoL; and perceived control in patients; and family functioning and changes in health behavior or knowledge in both, family members and patients. Most studies did not include an integral view of the family as the unit of care but rather had a disease-centered approach. DISCUSSION This scoping review provides insight into a variety of healthcare practices towards families of older patients with cardiovascular disease in Europe. Clarifying underlying assumptions to involve families is needed. More studies with family-focused approaches as integral models could lead to practices that improve families' well-being. Exploring integral models for their acceptance in health care and family systems appears pertinent to develop European policy to support and add to family health.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Frailty is a central geriatric syndrome characterized by a state of increased physiological vulnerability. As the key components of frailty are difficult to capture in their entirety, easily measurable and reliable surrogate parameters are desirable. Since frailty influences heart rate variability (HRV), HRV may be such a surrogate parameter. HRV is typically acquired by an ECG, which, however, may not be tolerated by all patients; in some, it may even trigger delirium. Therefore, we sought to measure HRV in a non-contact and unobtrusive way through photoplethysmography imaging (PPGI). Using our previously presented HRV estimation algorithm for PPGI, we investigated whether PPGI could reveal (1) HRV differences between frail and non-frail individuals and (2) the influences of early geriatric rehabilitation on HRV. METHODS The study involved 10 frail geriatric inpatients undergoing early geriatric rehabilitation and 10 healthy community-dwelling older adults. All participants underwent a comprehensive geriatric assessment. HRV measurements using a PPGI system and a reference ECG were made at the beginning and the end of the rehabilitation. HRV in terms of LF/HF ratio was analysed for both intra-individual changes during the geriatric rehabilitation and differences between frail geriatric patients and healthy community-dwelling individuals. RESULTS Across all geriatric patients, the median LF/HF ratio obtained with PPGI was found to be reduced by 0.178 (24.8%) during early geriatric rehabilitation. The assessment at the end of the rehabilitation revealed a simultaneous improvement of the functional state. Moreover, frail geriatric patients had a higher LF/HF ratio than their community-dwelling counterparts. Both observations in PPGI-based HRV were confirmed by the reference. The capability of PPGI to track intra-individual HRV changes was also analysed; a Spearman correlation of ρ = 1.0 between PPGI-based HRV and reference was achieved for 58.8% of the participants. CONCLUSION Early geriatric rehabilitation improves the functional state, which is associated with an increased HRV. PPGI is capable of detecting HRV changes/trends in that age group. While the tracking of intra-individual HRV changes is also possible, its reliability needs improvement. Nevertheless, the capabilities demonstrated in our study and the non-contact measurement principle of PPGI emphasize its potential for application in geriatric medicine.

Abstract
Background There are limited contemporary data on the use of emergent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in acute myocardial infarction. Methods and Results Adult (aged >18 years) acute myocardial infarction admissions were identified using the National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample (2000-2017) and classified by tertiles of admission year. Outcomes of interest included temporal trends of CABG use; age-, sex-, and race-stratified trends in CABG use; in-hospital mortality; hospitalization costs; and hospital length of stay. Of the 11 622 528 acute myocardial infarction admissions, emergent CABG was performed in 1 071 156 (9.2%). CABG utilization decreased overall (10.5% [2000] to 8.7% [2017]; adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.98 [95% CI, 0.98-0.98]; P<0.001), in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (10.2% [2000] to 5.2% [2017]; adjusted OR, 0.95 [95% CI, 0.95-0.95]; P<0.001) and non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (10.8% [2000] to 10.0% [2017]; adjusted OR, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.99-0.99]; P<0.001), with consistent age, sex, and race trends. In 2012 to 2017, compared with 2000 to 2005, admissions receiving emergent CABG were more likely to have non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (80.5% versus 56.1%), higher rates of noncardiac multiorgan failure (26.1% versus 8.4%), cardiogenic shock (11.5% versus 6.4%), and use of mechanical circulatory support (19.8% versus 18.7%). In-hospital mortality in CABG admissions decreased from 5.3% (2000) to 3.6% (2017) (adjusted OR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.88-0.89 [P<0.001]) in the overall cohort, with similar temporal trends in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. An increase in lengths of hospital stay and hospitalization costs was seen over time. Conclusions Utilization of CABG has decreased substantially in acute myocardial infarction admissions, especially in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. Despite an increase in acuity and multiorgan failure, in-hospital mortality consistently decreased in this population.
