Age is a nonmodifiable risk factor for mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock and is often considered in the decision-making process for eligibility for various therapies. In the assessment of risk in older adults with cardiogenic shock, a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach is central to developing best practices.

Introduction:Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have become an increasingly common treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure, serving as either a bridge to transplantation or destination therapy. During the study period, 36 patients (27.5%) underwent transplant or expired, and there were 32 DLI and 7 CVA events.
