Perspectives on Implementing a Multidomain Approach to Caring for Older Adults With Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:The American College of Cardiology (ACC) Geriatric Cardiology Section Leadership Council recently outlined 4 key domains (which are composed of 14 subdomains) that are important to assess in older adults with heart failure (HF). We sought to determine which geriatric domains/subdomains are routinely assessed, how they are assessed, and how they impact clinical management in the care of ambulatory older adults with HF. DESIGN:Survey. SETTING:Ambulatory. PARTICIPANTS:Fifteen active ACC member physicians from the geriatric cardiology community. MEASUREMENTS:Electronic survey assessing which domains/subdomains are currently assessed in these selected real-world practices, how they are assessed, and how they are incorporated into clinical management. RESULTS:Of 15 clinicia
