Abstract
Introduction: The association between chronic heart failure (CHF) and depression are well documented and is associated with poor prognosis and poor quality of life. However, little is known about this relationship in the Hispanic population, especially those who are uninsured with low-income levels. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of depression in uninsured, Hispanic patients with CHF. Methods: A total sample of 94 patients (51% Hispanic, 74% male, mean age±SD was 52.8±11.4, mean ejection fraction 24±9%, 68% non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, 88% with NYHA class II-III, 72% unemployed) were enrolled from a CHF Disease Management Program at a Los Angeles County facility.
