Exercise as a Therapeutic Tool in Age-Related Frailty and Cardiovascular Disease: Challenges and Strategies.

Understanding the link between heart disease and frailty in older adults is crucial. Although medical progress has extended life, it has not fully addressed the decline in function and quality of life in frail older people. Frailty is a state of vulnerability to health stressors that needs comprehensive solutions.

Clinical outcomes of very elderly patients treated with ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis for pulmonary embolism: a systematic review.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a significant cause of death in the very elderly (≥ 75 years) population. Ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis (USCDT) emerges to improve thrombolysis safety and efficacy. However, outcomes in very elderly patients are unknown, as randomized controlled trials exclude this population.

The Hospital Zambrano Hellion venous thromboembolism rapid response team (PREVENTION-team): Improving pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis patient care.

Background: Fast-track worldwide reperfusion programs improve outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction and stroke. Similar programs called Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) focus on submassive and massive pulmonary embolism (PE) excluding deep venous thrombosis (DVT).

Methods: PREVENTION-team (Hospital Zambrano Hellion Venous Thromboembolism [VTE] Rapid Response).
