March 25, 2025 | Noon - 1 p.m. CT
Presented by: Carmen Terzic, MD, PhD
Frailty is a biological syndrome that reflects a state of decreased physiological reserve, function and increased vulnerability to stressors. Frailty is associated with higher mortality, disability, and hospitalization in the cardiac population. It is critical to identify frail and vulnerable patients and adapt their assessment and intervention plan within the frame of primary and secondary prevention of CVDs. Cardiac rehab is well positioned to counteract frailty and its consequences.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will be able to define frailty
- Participants will discuss available tools to assess frailty
- Participants will describe frailty and its relationship with cardiovascular diseases
- Participants will discuss the management of frailty in cardiac rehabilitation (CR)

This session will explore the evolution and impact of psychocardiology, highlighting its emergence as a critical field addressing the intersection of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and psychological distress. Participants will gain insights into key psychosocial stressors affecting CVD patients and learn how to apply screening tools and both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions to improve patient outcomes. Additionally, the session will emphasize the integration of psychosocial care into cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, underscoring its essential role in the early detection and management of mental health conditions to enhance overall cardiovascular and pulmonary health.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the Evolution and Impact of Psychocardiology – Explore the historical development of psychocardiology and its role in addressing psychological distress in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
- Recognize and Manage Psychosocial Distress in CVD – Identify key areas of psychological distress in patients with CVD and review available screening tools, pharmacologic, and non-pharmacologic treatment strategies.
- Integrate Psychosocial Care into Cardiac/Pulmonary Rehabilitation (CPR) – Examine the core components of psychosocial management in CPR and its critical role in the early detection and intervention of mental health conditions.
