Due to population ageing, the number of older and frail patients with cardiovascular disease is increasing. In the current guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology specific recommendations for this older population are missing or scarce, probably due to limited evidence concerning diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease in older patients. Moreover, recommendations on shared decision making, palliative care and advanced care planning are also essential in these guidelines. In this article we evaluate the current European of Society of Cardiology guidelines (2013-2020) to determine whether specific recommendations for older patients have been included.
由于人口老龄化,患有心血管疾病的老年体弱患者数量正在增加。在欧洲心脏病学会的现行指南中,针对这一年龄较大人群的具体建议缺失或稀少,这可能是由于关于老年患者心血管疾病诊断和治疗的证据有限。此外,关于共同决策、姑息治疗和高级护理计划的建议在这些指南中也至关重要。在本文中,我们评估了欧洲心脏病学会现行指南(2013 - 2020年),以确定是否纳入了针对老年患者的具体建议。
