To see whether well-being and quality-of-life are affected in congestive heart failure, a number of health variables were estimated among 67-year-old men from Gothenburg. Based on history, physical examination and drug treatment, 407 men were studied and grouped into 4 stages of CHF. Men with CHF had more of other cardiovascular disease manifestations, utilized more health care, and reported less well-being and a higher rate of self-assessed disability.
