Knowledge Gaps in Cardiovascular Care of the Older Adult Population A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, and American Geriatrics Society

TL;DR: There is a pervasive lack of evidence to guide clinical decision making in older patients with cardiovascular disease, as well as a paucity of data on the impact of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions on key outcomes that are particularly important to older patients, such as quality of life, physical function, and maintenance of independence.

Gait Speed and Operative Mortality in Older Adults Following Cardiac Surgery.

TL;DR: Gait speed is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery, and can be used to refine estimates of operative risk, to support decision-making and, since incremental value is modest when used as a sole criterion for frailty, to screen older adults who could benefit from further assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Standard criteria for an acceptable donor heart are restricting heart transplantation

TL;DR: Expanding the criteria for suitability of donor hearts dramatically increases the number of transplantations without compromising recipient outcome.
