A Prospective Trial to Evaluate the Utility of Focused Frailty Interventions on Patients With Advanced Heart Failure
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Frailty assessment and Quality of life assessment for Heart Failure. Completed, enrolled 1 participant across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.
