Core Tip	This single-center cross-sectional observational study involved 98 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Through several analyses, it was found that a considerable proportion of patients with CHF had anxiety and depression and that these negative psychological states were significantly negatively correlated with quality of life. Furthermore, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV, concomitant hypertension, and concomitant diabetes were found to be associated with a higher risk of anxiety, whereas a disease duration ≥ 6 years, NYHA class III-IV, concomitant diabetes, and an education level below high school were associated with a higher risk of depression.
