Descrizione del lavoro

Job offer

Research position for 24 months in the field of “Telemedicine / Telerehabilitation”, assessing its impact on frailty in elderly patients with congestive heart failure and/or acute coronary syndrome.

Job Location

IRCCS MultiMedica, Cardiovascular Department, Via Milanese, 300, 20099, Sesto San Giovanni, Milan, Italy.

Job description

Very old patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have higher mortality and risk for disability after hospitalizations. This increased vulnerability is termed frailty, and it is frequent in older patients with CVD. Frailty, defined as an increased vulnerability to stressors due to a decrease in physiological reserves of multiple body systems, is an independent predictor of autonomy loss and poor prognosis including death. Limited data suggest that frailty can be reversed; thus, further studies are needed on interventions potentially useful in reversing frailty. Secondary prevention and cardiac rehabilitation programs improve prognosis. However, several barriers exist in their implementation, particularly in elderly and frail patients. Digital-based Telemedicine and Telerehabilitation could potentially reduce these barriers in elderly CVD patients and help revert frailty.
