Poor quality of life in adults with congenital heart disease and heart failure is associated with more frequent severe events, though not independently predictive after multivariable adjustment.

Is health-related quality of life associated with cardiovascular events in adults with congenital heart disease and heart failure?
While poor quality of life is associated with severe events in adults with congenital heart disease and heart failure, SF-36 dimensions are not independent predictors after multivariable adjustment.
=0.002) were significantly predictive of cardiovascular events. However, after multivariable analysis, SF-36 dimensions were no longer significantly associated with the primary end point. Conclusions Patients with congenital heart disease with HF and poor quality of life experience severe events more frequently, making quality of life assessment and rehabilitation programs essential to alter their trajectory.
Ly et al. (Fri,) conducted a observational in Congenital Heart Disease and Heart Failure. Health-Related Quality of Life (SF-36) was evaluated on Cardiovascular events. Poor quality of life in adults with congenital heart disease and heart failure is associated with more frequent severe events, though not independently predictive after multivariable adjustment.
