Abstract

Heart failure (HF) and frailty are two distinct yet commonly associated conditions. The interplay between the two conditions is complex, dueto overlaps in underlying mechanisms, symptoms and prognosis. The assessment of frailty in patients with HF is crucial, as it is associated withboth unfavourable outcomes and reduced access and tolerance to treatments. However, to date a consensus denition of frailty in patientswith HF remains lacking and the need for a validated assessment score, for identifying those HF patients with frailty, is high and timely. Thisposition paper proposes a new denition of frailty for use by healthcare professionals in the setting of HF and creates a foundation for thedesign of a tailored and validated score for this common condition
