Core Tip	Of the patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), those who are experiencing low Quality of Life (QoL) show higher morbidity, hospitalization rates and mortality. There is a link between low QoL, low adherence to pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical treatment as well as exercise training rehabilitation, and high anxiety and depression levels. The personality of the patient has been also found to play a role in affecting QoL and therefore prognosis. Taking into account that the personality trait of Neuroticism, has been found to affect QoL in chronically ill individuals, this study explores its possible role in predicting QoL in CHF population in relation to disease severity.
