ABSTRACT

Heart failureis a complex syndrome associated with increased mortality, hospitalization, and poor quality of life. This research was conducted to assessthe quality of life heartfailure patients with patients conditions.

In this study was involved 28 people with heart failure are treated in hospitals. Evaluation quality of life heart failure patients using a method  Heart Relation Quality of Life (HRQoL), the anallyzed among Heart Relation Quality of Life (HRQoL) with socio-demographic, degree of severity byNew York Heart Association (NYHA), the characteristics of therapy, and total cost of treatment was anallyzed using spearmank corellation that was continued bivariateand multivariate anallyzed between the independent variables.

The results of demographic characteristics the study showed that most patients with heart failure  the research subjectsbe male(67,9%), agerange45-59years(9%), education level of elementary school(60,7%), work that dominates the study subjects were farmers(39.3%). The degree severity ofNYHA most  the subjects included in the NYHA class III(60.7%). The therapy that gotten show suitable (64,3%) with the terapy characteristics of the most commonly used diuretic-furosemide(25.8%). The combination therapyof heart failure is the most widely useddrug in combination with 3 heart failure are Diuretics-Nitrates-Digoxinas many(13.3%), and a combination of 4 drugs, namely heart  failure Diuretics-Aldosteroneantagonists-ARB-Inotropic as many (13,3%). The total cost of treatment heart failure patients with comorbid greater costs(13,3%) with total costis Rp 2.151.194±30.361. The corellation anallyze show that education, gender, and severity by NYHAis an independent variable affects the quality of life heart failure patients.
