Abstract
The role of frailty in cardiovascular disease is becoming increasingly recognized. Up to 79% of patients with heart failure are frail. Frailty is associated with reduced quality of life and poor prognosis. This review summarizes the available literature on frailty and its key role in waitlisting patients for heart transplantation.
