Abstract
The FRAIL study by McNally et al. is a pivotal piece of research that provides essential insights into the relationship between frailty and QoL in patients with CKD and HF. It emphasizes the critical need for healthcare systems to adopt a more holistic, patient-centred approach that prioritizes the overall well-being of patients, alongside traditional clinical outcomes. As the population ages and the burden of multimorbidity grows, such insights will be invaluable in shaping the future of chronic disease management.
期刊介绍:
ESC Heart Failure is the open access journal of the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology dedicated to the advancement of knowledge in the field of heart failure. The journal aims to improve the understanding, prevention, investigation and treatment of heart failure. Molecular and cellular biology, pathology, physiology, electrophysiology, pharmacology, as well as the clinical, social and population sciences all form part of the discipline that is heart failure. Accordingly, submission of manuscripts on basic, translational, clinical and population sciences is invited. Original contributions on nursing, care of the elderly, primary care, health economics and other specialist fields related to heart failure are also welcome, as are case reports that highlight interesting aspects of heart failure care and treatment.
