Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The population is progressively ageing, and cardiologists are faced with patients with a greater number of comorbidities and “geriatric conditions”, such as cognitive impairment and frailty, which complicate management and influence outcomes. At the same time, technological advances have expanded the treatment options available for these patients. In the context of these changes, geriatric cardiology has recently emerged as a discipline that aims to adapt the principles of geriatric medicine to everyday cardiology practice. Consequently, the tasks of a “geriatric cardiologist” may include both traditional evidence-based management of cardiovascular disease and comprehensive geriatric assessment, medication reduction, team-based care coordination, and explicit integration of patient goals into patient-centred management.
