Core Tip	Frailty is increasingly recognized as a crucial determinant of outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome. This mini review highlights the most widely used frailty assessment tools, their prognostic value, and their practical application in emergency and inpatient cardiology settings. By summarizing current evidence and proposing a pragmatic pathway for integrating frailty into decision-making, the review underscores how simple bedside screening can guide individualized care, improve risk prediction, and support cardio-geriatric collaboration in managing older adults with acute coronary syndrome.
