From geriatric assessment to inflammation. A pilot, observational, study about frailty components in older patients with persistent atrial fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia diagnosed at an older age. AF is associated with frailty, a condition possibly justifying the higher rate of complications and mortality in aged individuals. This study was aimed at describing the characteristics correlated to frailty in older A...

Summary:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia diagnosed at an older age. AF is associated with frailty, a condition possibly justifying the higher rate of complications and mortality in aged individuals. This study was aimed at describing the characteristics correlated to frailty in older AF subjects. After having excluded a
