REHAB-HF: Diverse, older pop w acute HF regardless of EF (~73 yo, >50% women, >45% Black pts, 53% HFpEF): Early, multi-domain, progressive rehab intervention improved physical function, frailty, QOL, & depression. Need phase 3 trial #ACC21 #cardiotwitter nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Anxious to hear the results! Sunday, May 16 8:00 AM Jt ACC/JAMA Late-Breaking Clinical Trials A Novel Physical Rehabilitation Intervention for Older Patients with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: The REHAB-HF Trial Dalane Kitzman, @coconnormd et al #ACC21

Excited for #ACC21. Looking forward to sharing results of REHAB-HF: innovative physical function intervention designed specifically for older, frail pts hospitalized w acute HF regardless of EF. @coconnormd @GoReevesMD @DukeHeartCenter @ACCinTouch sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Piecing together the pathophysiological puzzle of #frailty and anemia in #HeartFailure. Shared common mechanisms? Anemia potentiating #frailty? Perhaps a target for mitigating/preventing #frailty in #HeartFailure? Lots to learn.

A subset of patients with confirmed HF or cardiac dysfunction have unexpectedly low BNP levels. Obesity is the strongest correlate of unexpectedly low BNP levels. #HF #HFpEF #BNP jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jchf.… @JACCJournals @JJheart_doc @mvaduganathan @FH_Verbrugge @MihaiTrofenciuc

Important article. Need to establish consensus around the approach to managment in the pre, peri and post operative period to improve on these outcomes. onlinejcf.com/article/S1071-…

Our State-of-the-art review and research wrk frm the REHAB-HF trial on role of frailty in HF pub. today in the JACC-HF issue on HF in older adults. Key findings summarized in the cntrl illustrations below @JACCJournals @robmentz @mvaduganathan @JainySavlaMD @coconnormd @mfiuzat

This was such fun session discussing all things #frailty with Drs. @nursingdean, @GoReevesMD, Vicki Dickson, and Rebecca Gary. Thanks @AHAMeetings for the opportunity! #AHA19
