[Fragility in severe aortic stenosis patient: a multidimensional assessment from nursing].
Enfermería Clínica 2016 March
The interest in studying frailty in older adults is an emerging fact in cardiology due to the incidence of patients undergoing valve replacement procedures in conditions difficult to quantify from the purely clinical point of view. In this regard, the profile of patients has been changing and often elderly people identify with greater vulnerability shown by different aspects such as walking speed, grip strength, independence for activities of daily living or emotional issues that condition their quality of life. These patients need to be identified prior to surgery in order to offer the best therapeutic option. Therefore, in our centre we set out to identify this group of fragile population with a multidimensional assessment where the nurse, through a specific assessment test, can set the degree of fragility of those patients who have an increased vulnerability. In this article we describe the multidimensional assessment in a pilot experience with 115 patients, where patient characteristics were analyzed, providing an overview of the profile of frailty in the elderly with aortic valve heart disease.
