Model 1  Mean STAXI score (between-subjects)  Deviation STAXI score (within-subjects)	−1.30* (0.29) −0.10 (0.10)	−2.41 (4.68) −2.41† (1.21)
Baseline STAXI score	−0.45‡ (0.18)	2.07 (2.06)
Model 2  Mean STAXI score (between-subjects)	−0.07 (0.29)	3.29 (6.57)

Note: Values are parameter estimate (B) and standard error (SE) of associations between state anger (STAXI) and the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-heart failure health status and symptoms) and the six-minute Walk Test (6MWT-functional status). Parameter estimates in Model 1 are adjusted for the effect of age, sex, BMI, income, NYHA classification, ejection fraction, creatinine level and hypertension status. The ‘Baseline STAXI score’ analysis is additionally adjusted for the baseline value of the respective outcome. Parameter estimates in Model 2 are adjusted for the effect of perceived stress. In all analyses presented in Model 1 and 2, time is included as a continuous variable.
