Abstract

Overall perceived health (OPH) is a powerful and independent predictor of negative health outcomes and low health-related quality of life and is conspicuously low in patients with HF (HF).

The purpose of this study was to determine the key variables associated with OPH in persons with HF and to evaluate the variability in OPH attributable to each.
