Elderly patients with HF have high burden of comorbidities and physical and cognitive impairments, which may contribute to their poor outcome. In this study, we aim to measure the prevalence of certain comorbid conditions and measures of physical and cognitive impairments, and their impact on total mortality among participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) with incident HF. As a secondary aim, we will examine the utility of comorbidities and measures of physical and cognitive impairments in predicting mortality among CHS participants with incident HF. en Wake Forest University Cognitive impairment Comorbidities Elderly Heart failure Physical impairment Comorbidities and Physical and Cognitive Impairments in Elderly Heart Failure Patients: Impact on Total Mortality.
