Careful assessment of frailty and predictors of poor outcome in TAVR candidates is essential to guide shared decision-making and prevent futile interventions.
benefit from TAVR. This underscores the importance of assessing all TAVR candidates for the known predictors of poor outcome and to document objective measures of frailty. These data inform the shared-decision-making process with patients and their families and provide an opportunity to avoid complex, expensive and ultimately futile procedures.
