ABSTRACT

Resumen En este texto repasamos algunos de los principales trabajos relacionados con el diagnóstico y tratamiento de las enfermedades cardiovasculares más prevalentes en el paciente mayor publicados durante el último año, a la vez que se resalta también la importancia de una adecuada prevención, tanto primaria como secundaria. De igual modo, merecen especial atención entidades tan prevalentes como la cardiopatía isquémica, la fibrilación auricular o la insuficiencia cardiaca, entre otras, y se destaca el papel de la rehabilitación cardiaca en los pacientes mayores, dado su impacto pronóstico al permitir abordar en gran medida algunos de los síndromes geriátricos presentes en esta población. Por último, repasamos algunos aspectos importantes en la situación de pandemia actual de COVID-19 y algunos de los trabajos liderados por la Sección de Cardiología Geriátrica de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología. In this text we review some of the main studies related to the diagnosis and treatment of the most prevalent cardiovascular diseases in older patients published during the last year, also highlighting the importance of adequate prevention, both primary and secondary. Similarly, prevalent entities such as ischemic heart disease, atrial fibrillation or heart failure, among others, deserve special attention, as well as the role of cardiac rehabilitation in older patients, given its benefits and prognostic impact regarding it addresses to a large extent some of the common geriatric syndromes in this population. Finally, we review some important aspects in the current COVID-19 pandemic and some of the works led by the Geriatric Cardiology Section of the Spanish Society of Cardiology.

ABSTRACT

SARS-CoV-2 infection, also known as COVID-19 (coronavirus infectious disease-19), was first identified in December 2019. In Spain, the first case of this infection was diagnosed on 31 January, 2020 and, by 15 April 2020, has caused 18 579 deaths, especially in the elderly. Due to the rapidly evolving situation regarding this disease, the data reported in this article may be subject to modifications. The older population are particularly susceptible to COVID-19 infection and to developing severe disease. The higher morbidity and mortality rates in older people have been associated with comorbidity, especially cardiovascular disease, and frailty, which weakens the immune response. Due to both the number of affected countries and the number of cases, the current situation constitutes an ongoing pandemic and a major health emergency. Because Spain has one of the largest older populations in the world, COVID-19 has emerged as a geriatric emergency. This document has been prepared jointly between the Section on Geriatric Cardiology of the Spanish Society of Cardiology and the Spanish Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Durante el último año se han publicado numerosos trabajos centrados en el paciente mayor con enfermedad cardiovascular. En este texto repasamos algunos de los principales trabajos relacionados con el abordaje del paciente mayor con cardiopatía, incluyendo escenarios clínicos tan complejos como la situación de la pandemia de enfermedad por coronavirus de 2019 (COVID-19) que vivimos. Hemos querido resaltar y prestar especial atención a aspectos de gran relevancia clínica, dado su impacto pronóstico, como son los síndromes geriátricos y la comorbilidad, entidades prevalentes en el paciente mayor con cardiopatía, y que conviene conocer para mejorar la atención que proporcionamos a nuestros pacientes en distintos ámbitos (urgencias, hospitalización, ambulatorio). Analizamos también algunos de los principales estudios y trabajos impulsados desde la Sección de Cardiología Geriátrica de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología. During last year several papers focusing on elderly patients with cardiovascular disease have been published. In this article, we review some of the most important studies focused on the management of elderly patients with heart disease, also including complex clinical scenarios such as the COVID-19 pandemic. We highlight some aspects of great clinical relevance, given their prognostic impact, such as geriatric syndromes and comorbidity, all of them prevalent in the elderly. We also emphasize on how to improve the care we provide to our patients in different scenarios (emergency, hospitalization, outpatients). Finally, we analyze some of the main studies promoted by the Geriatric Cardiology Section of the Spanish Society of Cardiology.
