Figure 1.
Regression tree (A- Total Score, B- Physical Dimension, C- Emotional Dimension, D-General Dimension) illustrating that advanced NYHA (New York Heart Association) functional class worsened all dimensions of MLwHF (Minnesota Living with Heart Failure). Anxiety symptoms influenced directly or indirectly the presence of poorer total score and emotional well-being dimension of MLwHF. The same was observed for previous hospitalization in the emotional well-being dimension, demonstrating an interaction with functional class NYHA I and II. In the general well-being dimension, the NYHA functional classes I and II were associated with poorer MLwHF in patients younger than 60 years old.
