[Cardiovasular diseases and multimorbidity].

Cardiovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis, arterial hypertension, heart failure or atrial fibrillation are most prevalent in advanced age and usually occur in combination with multimorbidity and functional deficits. Recommendations from guidelines can therefore only be applied to these patient groups to a limited extent. Due to the complexity and vulnerability of multimorbid, older adults, an interdisciplinary approach to care is required. For the future, there is a great need for studies that include these patient groups, also taking into account other outcome parameters.
