Evaluation of Frailty in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension
Description: Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a progressive vascular condition characterized by increased morbidity and mortality. Identification of modifiable risk factors such as frailty, a biological syndrome of decreased physiological reserve, may improve prognostication and management as shown in other chronic lung conditions. However, frailty in PH has not been previously evaluated. This project aims to; 1) Evaluate the prevalence of frailty in PH patients, 2) Compare Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), physical function and disease severity measures between frail and non-frail patients.
