Sumario:During last year several papers focusing on elderly patients with cardiovascular disease have been published. In this article, we review some of the most important studies focused on the management of elderly patients with heart disease, also including complex clinical scenarios such as the COVID-19 pandemic. We highlight some aspects of great clinical relevance, given their prognostic impact, such as geriatric syndromes and comorbidity, all of them prevalent in the elderly. We also emphasize on how to improve the care we provide to our patients in different scenarios (emergency, hospitalization, outpatients). Finally, we analyze some of the main studies promoted by the Geriatric Cardiology Section of the Spanish Society of Cardiology.
