3
Valvular Disease in Older Adults Prevalence is increasing dramatically as the population ages Predominantly AS and MR Predictably associated with heart failure, arrhythmia and death. Medical treatment has limited effectiveness. Mechanical therapies (surgical and percutaneous) are becoming more “routine” in the elderly.
4
Valvular Disease in Older Adults Presence of co-morbidities including frailty make patient selection difficult and prediction of overall response to therapy less predictable than in younger patients. Goals of therapy are different in this age group with an emphasis placed on QOL, functionality/independence and palliation of severe symptoms.

But Would They Do It Again? Maillet et al. Arch Gerontology + Geriatrics 2009; 48:391-396. In one study, 84 patients age ≥ 80 years of age who underwent AVR +/- CABG for symptomatic AS were queried at least 1 year after surgery whether they would accept being operated on again. 39.3% reported they would not and this was significantly related to loss of autonomy, suspected depression, and cardiac symptoms.
