Abstract
Chronic illnesses such as heart failure (HF) are known to impair quality of life. HF, in particular, is associated with unpleasant symptoms, limitations in activities of daily living, and increased risk of hospitalization for symptom management.1 The effects of chronic illness on symptoms, functioning, and the risk of hospitalization decrease quality of life in persons with HF.
