Cohort subanalysis reports the prognostic impact of objective social isolation and loneliness in older patients with heart failure, highlighting critical nonmedical risks.

Although social factors have attracted considerable research attention, information regarding their impact on patients with heart failure is scarce. We aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of objective SI and loneliness in older patients with heart failure.
