A Simplified Frailty Measure Improves Risk Stratification in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair
A simplified frailty measure comprising self-reported exhaustion and gait speed significantly improved risk prediction in patients undergoing PMVR. Assessment of frailty measures should be part of the decision-making process and multiparametric risk scores in patients with severe mitral regurgitation.
