ABSTRACT
AIMS:
Patients with heart failure (HF) suffer from reduced quality-of-life (QoL). We aimed to compare QoL, depression, and anxiety scores among outpatients with preserved (HFpEF) and reduced (HFrEF) ejection fraction and non-HF controls and its relationship to coordination capacity. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
Fifty-five participants were recruited prospectively at the University Hospital Jena, Germany (17 HFpEF, 18 HFrEF, and 20 non-HF controls). All participants underwent echocardiography, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), 10 m walking test (10-MWT), isokinetic muscle function and coordination tests, and QoL assessments using the short form of health survey (SF-36), and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS). Furthermore, inflammatory biomarkers such as growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) were assessed. Patients with HFpEF showed compared with HFrEF and non-HF controls reduced QoL [mental component score (MCS) 43.6 ± 7.1 vs. 50.2 ± 10.0 vs. 50.5 ± 5.0, P = 0.03), vitality (VT) 47.5 ± 8.4 vs. 53.6 ± 8.6 vs. 57.1 ± 5.2, P = 0.004), and elevated anxiety (6.5 ± 3.2 vs. 3.3 ± 2.8 vs. 3.8 ± 2. 8, P = 0.02) and depression scores (6.5 [3.5-10.0] vs. 3.0 [1.0-6.5] vs. 2.0 [0.75-3.0], P = 0.01)]. After adjusting to multiple comparisons, anxiety remained higher in HFpEF patients compared with HFrEF (ppost-hoc = 0.009). HFpEF and HFrEF patients showed reduced coordination capacity compared with non-HF controls (P < 0.05). In a logistic regression, the presence of depression score ≥8 remained an independent factor for predicting reduced coordination capacity after adjusting for peak VO2 , GDF-15, 10-MWT, physical component score (PCS), and peak torque of the leg [odds ratio (OR) 0.1, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.004-0.626, P = 0.02].CONCLUSION:
Outpatients with HFpEF had worse QoL and higher anxiety and depression scores compared with HFrEF and non-HF controls. Depression is associated with reduced QoL and is an independent predictor for reduced coordination capacity.Palavras-chave
