Correlation between frailty and cardiac structure and function in echocardiography in elderly patients with normal ejection fraction

CONCLUSION: Frailty is closely associated with several heart structural and functional alterations, which not only manifested as LV hypertrophy and reduced LV systolic function, but also decreased LV diastolic function, RV systolic function, and left atrial systolic function. Frailty is an independent risk factor for LV hypertrophy, LV diastolic dysfunction, LVGLS reduction, and reduced RV systolic function.TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2000033419.
