Purpose of ReviewWith a worldwide aging population, frailty and heart failure (HF) have become issues that need to be addressed urgently in cardiovascular clinical practice. In this review, we outline the clinical implications of frailty in HF patients and the potential therapeutic strategies to improve the clinical outcomes of frail patients with HF.Recent FindingsFrailty has physical, psychological, and social domains, each of which is a prognostic determinant for patients with HF, and each domain overlaps with the other, although there are no standardized criteria for diagnosing frailty. Frailty can be targeted for treatment with various interventions, and recent studies have suggested that multidisciplinary intervention could be a promising option for frail patients with HF. However, currently, there is limited data, and further research is needed before its clinical implementation.SummaryFrailty and HF share a common background and are strongly associated with each other. More comprehensive assessment and therapeutic interventions for frailty need to be developed to further improve the prognosis and quality of life of frail patients with HF.
