Abstract

Frailty status measured by the Katz Index represents a powerful predictor of adverse early and late outcome after TAVI, whereas commonly used risk scores lack calibration and discrimination in a TAVI-specific patient cohort. Therefore, we propose the incorporation of this simple and reproducible measure into pre-TAVI risk assessment.
