Abstract:Increased vulnerability to physiologic stressors, termed frailty, is a common occurrence in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). However, the definite biomarkers to assess frailty in CHF patients are not known.

We categorized controls ( n = 59) and CHF patients ( n = 80), the participants, into robust, pre-frail, and frail based on the cardiovascular health study (CHS) frailty index. The… Show more
