| Abstract |
This review aims to summarize the current evidence for the association of depression and Type D personality with clinical and patient-centred outcomes and self-care in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Emotional distress is highly prevalent in CHF patients. In contrast to results in coronary artery disease, there is inconsistent evidence for the adverse effects of depression and Type D on prognosis. Type D and depression are important predictors of impaired health status in CHF, and patients characterised by depression or Type D report reduced self-care. Pathophysiological processes associated with depression and Type D are discussed, as they may contribute to disease progression. Future research may benefit from taking inconsistencies in and problems with assessment of depression and Type D into account, as well as focusing on the network of psychophysiological and behavioural factors to elucidate their precise role in CHF patients with depression or Type D. Furthermore, it is advised that clinicians address the observed differences in self-care behaviours to improve health in CHF patients with depression or Type D personality. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 May 2013.
All research outputs
#15,421,325
of 25,755,403 outputs
Outputs from Current Heart Failure Reports
#224
of 373 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#113,482
of 206,366 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Heart Failure Reports
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,755,403 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 373 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.9. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 206,366 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
