Despite the high prevalence of depression in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), there is a paucity of data on this subject from low and middle-income countries (LMIC). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in patients attending a dedicated CHF clinic. Methods A prospective study was conducted at an outpatient heart failure clinic in a tertiary academic centre. The study participants completed a Depression, Anxiety and Stress (DASS-21) questionnaire to screen for the presence and severity of depression, anxiety and stress symptoms. Furthermore, the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) was completed and used to evaluate the impact of CHF on health-related quality of life (QoL). Descriptive statistics were used to describe patients' characteristics and logistic regressio...

Mental health problems have been associated with frequent rehospitalisation and an increased risk of all-cause mortality. Despite the reported high prevalence of depression in CHF, there is a paucity of data on this subject from the developing world. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of depression, stress and anxiety in patients attending a dedicated chronic heart failure clinic. Methods: A prospective study was conducted at an outpatient heart failure clinic, in a tertiary academic centre over a nine month period in 2016. The study participants completed a Depression, Anxiety and Stress (DASS-21) questionnaire to screen for the presence and severity of depression, anxiety and stress. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of depression.Results: The study population comprised of 103 ...
