Geriatric Cardiology
Geriatric cardiology is a specialized branch of cardiology that focuses on the cardiovascular health of older adults, typically those aged 65 and older. It addresses the unique challenges and complexities that arise in diagnosing, treating, and managing heart conditions in this population.
They tailor their approach to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention to meet the specific needs and circumstances of older patients, considering factors such as frailty, cognitive impairment, and functional status.
