Key result
Chronic heart failure was associated with lower functional capacity and poorer sleep quality compared to healthy controls (P=0.040).
Why the study?
Do patients with chronic heart failure have lower functional capacity and poorer sleep quality compared to healthy controls?
Observational
Do patients with chronic heart failure have lower functional capacity and poorer sleep quality compared to healthy controls?
Patients with chronic heart failure have significantly lower functional capacity and poorer sleep quality compared to healthy controls.

Supports sleep screening in heart failure; leaves open causal mechanisms and intervention effects.
BACKGROUND: Adequate sleep improves physical and mental alertness. However, there is a dearth of empirical data on functional capacity (FC) and sleep quality (SpQ) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the relationship between FC and SpQ of patients with CHF and apparently healthy controls (HCs). METHODS: < 0.05. CONCLUSION: Patients with heart failure demonstrated lower functional capacity and poorer sleep quality.

Awotidebe et al. (2016) conducted an observational in chronic heart failure. Chronic heart failure vs. apparently healthy controls was evaluated on Functional capacity and sleep quality (p=0.040). Chronic heart failure was associated with lower functional capacity and poorer sleep quality compared to healthy controls (P=0.040).
