- Abstract
Heart failure (HF) has implications for the quality of life for any age range, more so for the elderly who simultaneously present other limitations imposed by multiple co-morbidities. Although there are several instruments to measure Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL), none is specific to the elderly with HF. Among disease-specific instruments, Minnesota Living with Heart Failure(LHFQ) has not been studied extensively among the elderly with respect to its psychometric properties.
