This consensus document on cardiovascular disease in women summarizes the views of a panel of experts organized by the Working Group on Women and Cardiovascular Disease of the Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC-WG CVD in Women), and the Association of Preventive Cardiology of the SEC (SEC-ACP). The document was developed in collaboration with experts from various Spanish societies and associations: the Spanish Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (SEGO), the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN), the Spanish Association for the Study of Menopause (AEEM), the Spanish Association of Pediatrics (AEP), the Spanish Society of Primary Care Physicians (SEMERGEN), the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine (semFYC), and the Association of Spanish Midwives (AEM). The document received formal approval from the SEC.

- - Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of illness and death in older adults, with conditions like coronary artery disease and heart failure being particularly prevalent.
- - Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is critical for secondary prevention, improving heart health, quality of life, and management of cardiovascular risk factors in elderly patients.
- - Despite its benefits, elderly patients are less frequently referred to CR following cardiovascular events, highlighting the need for personalized care strategies tailored to this unique population.
Article Synopsis
- Iron deficiency (ID) negatively impacts the functional capacity of heart failure patients, even those with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), prompting this study to assess how baseline iron levels affect improvements in peak oxygen consumption (peakVO) from exercise therapy.
- In a trial involving 59 stable HFpEF patients, participants underwent a 12-week physical therapy regimen with varying interventions, while their iron levels were measured to understand their influence on aerobic capacity changes.
- Results indicated that patients with ID showed less improvement in peakVO compared to those without ID, highlighting the significance of iron status in enhancing exercise outcomes, and pointing towards the need for further research in this area.
Article Synopsis
- Life expectancy has risen significantly, highlighting the need for targeted health interventions to improve outcomes for elderly patients with cardiovascular issues.
- Current clinical guidelines lack specific recommendations for older adults due to their low representation in clinical trials.
- This document focuses on preventative care for patients aged 75 and older, addressing treatment options, physical exercise, and the importance of considering geriatric syndromes and comorbidities in their management.
