Journal ArticleDOI

Ilaria Liguori,Gennaro Russo,Francesco Curcio,Giulia Bulli,Luisa Aran,David Della-Morte,Gaetano Gargiulo,Gianluca Testa,Gianluca Testa,Francesco Cacciatore,Domenico Bonaduce,Pasquale Abete +11 more
TL;DR: Given the important role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of many clinical conditions and aging, antioxidant therapy could positively affect the natural history of several diseases, but further investigation is needed to evaluate the real efficacy of these therapeutic interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sarcopenia: assessment of disease burden and strategies to improve outcomes.
Ilaria Liguori,Gennaro Russo,Luisa Aran,Giulia Bulli,Francesco Curcio,David Della-Morte,Gaetano Gargiulo,Gianluca Testa,Gianluca Testa,Francesco Cacciatore,Domenico Bonaduce,Pasquale Abete +11 more
TL;DR: Because sarcopenia is associated with important adverse health outcomes, such as frailty, hospitalization, and mortality, several therapeutic strategies have been identified that involve exercise training, nutritional supplementation, hormonal therapies, and novel strategies and are still under investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orthostatic Hypotension in the Elderly: A Marker of Clinical Frailty?
Ilaria Liguori,Gennaro Russo,Vincenzo Coscia,Luisa Aran,Giulia Bulli,Francesco Curcio,David Della-Morte,Gaetano Gargiulo,Gianluca Testa,Francesco Cacciatore,Domenico Bonaduce,Pasquale Abete +11 more
TL;DR: OH is a common condition in frail older adults, and it is strongly associated with mortality, disability, and hospitalization in the highest frailty degree, and may represent a new marker of clinical frailty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depression and chronic heart failure in the elderly: an intriguing relationship.
Ilaria Liguori,Gennaro Russo,Francesco Curcio,Giuseppe Sasso,David Della-Morte,Gaetano Gargiulo,Flora Pirozzi,Francesco Cacciatore,Domenico Bonaduce,Pasquale Abete,Gianluca Testa,Gianluca Testa +11 more
TL;DR: Treatment of depression in elderly patients with chronic heart failure requires a multidisciplinary approach including: psychotherapy, antidepressants, exercise training and electroconvulsive therapy, and pharmacological therapy with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, despite conflicting results, improves quality of life but does not guarantee better outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of SPRINT results on hypertension guidelines: implications for "frail" elderly patients.
Gennaro Russo,Ilaria Liguori,Luisa Aran,Giulia Bulli,Francesco Curcio,Gianluigi Galizia,Gaetano Gargiulo,Gianluca Testa,Gianluca Testa,Andrea Ungar,Francesco Cacciatore,Domenico Bonaduce,Pasquale Abete +12 more
TL;DR: It has been described that light frailty is related to good outcomes in older adults and frailty status should be routinely and correctly quantified in order to identify the frailty degree and to find the best harms–benefits balance of antihypertensive drug treatment in frail older adults.
