Aortic stenosis prognosis in older patients: frailty is a strong marker of early congestive heart failure admissions

Analyse which factors could influence in earlier hospitalizations for congestive heart failure in geriatric patients with degenerative aortic stenosis. The first admission for congestive heart failure was independently related to frailty (HR 4.46, 95% CI: 1.38–14.41). The median time to admission for frail patients was 1.08 years (95% CI 0.30–1.86). In our study, there was an increased risk of congestive heart failure admission in frail patients...
