The Elderly: cardiovascular risk and phenotypic heterogeneity.
In this video cardiologist, Luigi Tarantini, describes how to manage cardiovascular risk in the elderly cancer patient. He also takes into account the fact that ‘elderly patient’ is a generic term that does not represent the different patient categories above a certain age. The concept of phenotypic heterogeneity, which allows for personal risk evaluation and subsequent therapeutic strategy, is introduced.
Specific issues:
-
Epidemiology: the one-to-one relationship between cancer and cardiovascular pathology
-
Specific considerations for the elderly: complexity and phenotypic heterogeneity
-
Multidimensional geriatric Evaluation with a questionnaire (G8, VES-13)
-
Guide Lines and algorithms
