Dr Eilidh Hill shares some geriatric perspective pearls of wisdom on managing frailty and HF:

🫀 Comprehensive strategy to identify and correct problems
🫀HF + frailty = worse outcomes🫀 Most important to IDENTIFY frailty

#MedSky #CardioSky

Professor Mark Petrie takes us through detecting the aetiology of heart failure

🫀 need to do more digging rather than label of HFpEF or HFrEF
🫀 be comprehensive - genetics, drugs
🫀 Inflammatory cardiomyopathies are more common than you think!
