Why the study?
Sleep disturbance and stress affect morbidity, mortality, and quality of life in heart failure, but little is known about the associations between stress and sleep in these patients.
Comparison
Baseline stress levels and sex- or NYHA-stratified sleep characteristics
Design
Cross-sectional baseline analysis from a randomized controlled trial
