AB A comprehensive approach is necessary in managing heart failure in frail older adults. To provide optimal care, physicians need to draw on knowledge from the fields of internal medicine, geriatrics, and cardiology. The acronym “MORE” is a mnemonic for what heart failure management should include: multidisciplinary care, attention to other (ie, comorbid) diseases, restrictions (of salt, fluid, and alcohol), and discussion of end-of-life issues.
