  • At least 800 older adults will receive education through Public Seminar on cardiovascular disease, heart failure and frailty
  • 180 frail or pre-frail older adults will undergo a 12-week rehabilitation and exercise program
  • 800 frail or pre-frail older adults will be educated about or use an e-health exercise maintenance app
  • 40 individuals  will be identified with at least moderate grade cardiac ultrasound abnormalities, while 20 will be diagnosed with stroke-associated atrial fibrillation, and 20  will require anticoagulation to prevent stroke
  • A 10% to 15% improvement in frailty and physical fitness measures is expected among frail and pre-frail older adults undergoing rehabilitation
