The Utility of Focused Frailty Interventions on Patients With Advanced Heart Failure

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Heart Failure

In brief

The Researchers are doing this study to find out if the cardiac rehabilitation program can improve measurements of frailty and improve independence, functional abilities, and feelings about health. Frailty can be measured by weakness (as measured by hand grip strength), slowness (as measured by walking speed), low level of physical activity, low energy or self-reported exhaustion, and unintentional weight loss.
