Edmonton frail scale in TAVI patients: A new tool for frailty assessment and outcomes prediction

In this issue of the IJC, the manuscript by Holierook et al. -"Higher Edmonton Frail Scale prior to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation is related to longer hospital stay and mortality", reinforces the importance of standardizing frailty assessment within the pre-procedural evaluation of severe aortic stenosis patients, as it helps to stratify risk of adverse outcomes.
