Beskrivning

This book aims to clarify the potential association between frailty and cardiovascular disease in older people. Since this book is dedicated to both researchers and clinicians, we have proposed some chapters to the importance of comprehensive geriatric assessment in the evaluation and treatment of cardiovascular diseases and frailty.
