Despite of modern medical treatment heart failure patients suffer frequently. The optimization of medical therapy is an emphasis for these patients. Device therapy has been showed some improvement in prognosis but nonresponder rate is still 30% in many large trails. So, selection of patients for devices is important as these are expensive. Optimization of medical treatment is the priority and device can be used as an additional option.   doi: 10.3329/uhj.v5i1.3439 University Heart Journal Vol. 5, No. 1, January 2009 32-35

Abstract The assessment of frailty in heart failure patients can help clinicians to build a tailored care plan, aimed at improving the selection of patients likely to benefit from one treatment vs. another, thereby improving outcomes. Although progress has been made in the ‘operationalization’ of frailty assessment, there is still the need to provide an improved instrument to assess frailty that is easy, quick and at the same time predictive within the setting of a busy clinical practice. Using such an ideal instrument, clinicians would be able to optimize the use of limited health care resources and avoid what has been termed ‘frailtyism’. This term, similar to ageism, can be defined as prejudice or discrimination based on the presence of frailty.
