The main questions it aims to answer are:(1) To clarify differences in demographic characteristics and test results (including CGA, BNP, and echocardiography) among different frail populations (2) What demographic, clinical, and geriatric assessment factors are independently associated with frailty in elderly patients with heart failure?

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age≥60 years
2. Patients with complete data（Patients who have completed the comprehensive geriatric assessment,BNP testing, electrocardiogram and echocardiography).
3. Patients meeting the diagnostic criteria for heart failure (as defined in the "Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Heart Failure 2024")

1. Patients with incomplete data
2. Patients with severe physical or cognitive impairments that prevent them from completing the assessment.
