Frailty and Cardiovascular Diseases
Guest: Carmen Terzic, M.D., Ph.D.

Joining us today to discuss Frailty and Cardiovascular Diseases is Carmen Terzic, M.D., Ph.D., professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation and chair of the cardiac rehab clinic at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Specific topics discussed:
- What is frailty? How do we define it yet? How is it measured? Is it different for men and women? Does it differ by disease diagnosis or by age?
- Why is it important to know?
- Does it predict response to therapy? Are there some therapies we would not render if the pt is too frail?
- Can frailty change with training, lifestyle change, exercise, weight loss?
- Should we be assessing frailty and all of our patients? If not, which one should we focus on most where is helpful?
