Journal ArticleDOI
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
Michael W. Rich,Deborah Chyun,Adam H. Skolnick,Karen P. Alexander,Daniel E. Forman,Dalane W. Kitzman,Mathew S. Maurer,James B. McClurken,Barbara Resnick,Win Kuang Shen,David L. Tirschwell +10 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
ACCF/AHA/SCAI 2013 Update of the Clinical Competence Statement on Coronary Artery Interventional Procedures: A Report of the American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association/American College of Physicians Task Force on Clinical Competence and Training (Writing Committee to Revise the 2007 Clinical Competence Statement on Cardiac Interventional Procedures)

TL;DR: Granting clinical staff privileges to physicians is the primary mechanism institutions use to uphold quality care and doctors themselves are charged with defining the criteria.

Gait Speed and Operative Mortality in Older Adults Following Cardiac Surgery.
Jonathan Afilalo,Sunghee Kim,Sean M. O'Brien,J. Matthew Brennan,J. Matthew Brennan,Fred H. Edwards,Michael J. Mack,James B. McClurken,Joseph C. Cleveland,Peter K. Smith,David M. Shahian,Karen P. Alexander,Karen P. Alexander +12 more
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
Valluvan Jeevanandam,Satoshi Furukawa,Thomas W. Prendergast,Barbara Todd,Howard J. Eisen,James B. McClurken +5 more
TL;DR: Expanding the criteria for suitability of donor hearts dramatically increases the number of transplantations without compromising recipient outcome.
