  abstract  = {Cognitive impairment is highly prevalent in patients with chronic heart failure, but little is known about the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of this special patient group. We aimed to examine whether cognitive impairment is associated with HRQL in heart failure patients and hypothesized that cognitive impairment would negatively impact HRQL. We examined the HRQL of 148 patients of the Cognition.Matters-HF study with chronic heart failure and objectified cognitive impairment ranging from no to severe deficits. With the exception of the self-efficacy scale of the KCCQ, cognitive impairment was not associated with lower health-related quality of life in heart failure patients. The association of self-efficacy with severity of cognitive impairment remained significant after adjustment for duration and severity of heart failure, age, and sex (p<0.001). The self-efficacy scale gives information about patients' ability to prevent acute heart failure decompensations and could become a promising tool to detect individuals who are unable to adhere to a proper heart failure treatment regimen and manage arising complications. These patients may benefit from enhanced care, e.g. in the frame of a heart failure nurse led disease-management program.},
