HF and PAD were associated with poorer HRQoL in CHD; leaves open whether targeting comorbidities improves outcomes.

In patients with coronary heart disease, comorbid conditions such as heart failure and peripheral artery disease, along with frequent physician visits, are significant predictors of poorer health-related quality of life.
Tušek-Bunc et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary heart disease (n=423). Heart failure vs. Absence of heart failure was evaluated on Health-related quality of life (EQ-5D index score) (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.31-0.65, p=<0.001). In patients with coronary heart disease, comorbid heart failure (OR 0.45) and peripheral artery disease (OR 0.32) were significant predictors of poorer health-related quality of life.
