Description: Frailty is a biological syndrome that reflects a state of decreased physiological reserve, function and increased vulnerability to stressors. Frailty is associated with higher mortality, disability, and hospitalization in the cardiac population. It is critical to identify frail and vulnerable patients and adapt their assessment and intervention plan within the frame of primary and secondary prevention of CVDs. Cardiac rehab is well positioned to counteract frailty and its consequences.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Define frailty
2. Discuss available tools to assess frailty 
3. Describe frailty and its relationship with cardiovascular diseases
4. Discuss the management of frailty in cardiac rehabilitation (CR)
