This study tracks patients with sudden heart problems admitted to a special heart intensive care unit. It helps doctors learn more about these conditions to improve future care.
This study looks at how frailty affects older adults (70+) after a stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). It aims to see if frailty helps predict the chances of survival, disability, and quality of life a year later.
This trial tests a special care program for people with both frailty (being weak or vulnerable) and heart failure (when the heart doesn't pump well). The program brings together different types of support to help you manage your health better after a hospital stay.
This study looks at how frailty (a state of being weak and vulnerable) affects treatment and recovery in older adults who have had a heart attack. By joining, you would help doctors understand how to better care for patients like you.
This study looks at how family members can be involved in making treatment decisions for older patients (75+) in the ICU. It aims to improve care for very old patients who are expected to stay in the ICU for more than 3 days.
This study looks at whether frailty can help predict the risk of bleeding in older adults who have had a heart attack. If you are over 65 and have had a recent heart attack, this trial may help researchers understand how to better prevent bleeding complications.
