Sponsor's own description

Heart failure is very common in the elderly, in whom it may lead to functional and intellectual problems. Functional problems include loss in the ability to perform basic tasks of daily living such as bathing or dressing. No studies have yet described the rate at which heart failure causes these problems to develop. This study aims to find out whether nursing home patients deteriorate more quickly with respect to function and intellect if they have heart failure. Participants will undergo a thorough health history and physical examination and will be followed every 3 months for up to a year. Over 30 nursing homes in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and Hamilton, in South Central Ontario (Canada), are participating in this study. Every 3 months, participants will be reviewed with respect to function, intellect, mood and behaviours. Results between those with heart failure will be compared to those of people without heart failure. The results of this study will be used to plan further studies to see whether good treatment of heart failure can preserve function, intellect, and prevent depression and other mood problems.
