Objetiva-se identificar evidências científicas sobre a qualidade de vida em pacientes diagnosticados com insuficiênciacardíaca. Revisão integrativa realizada nas bases de dados Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde(LILACS), Base de Dados de Enfermagem (BDENF) e Sistema Online de Busca e Análise de Literatura Médica (MEDLINE)com a seguinte questão norteadora: Como a insuficiência cardíaca interfere na qualidade de vida dos pacientescardiológicos? Foi utilizada a estratégia PICO com recorte temporal de 2011 a 2016, nos idiomas português, inglês eespanhol. As informações foram tabuladas em programa Microsoft Excel® e processadas a partir de estratégia: médiaaritmética descritiva simples, frequência absoluta e relativa. Encontrou-se 712 artigos na sua totalidade, após aplicaçãodos critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram selecionados 17 artigos científicos avaliados a partir da categoria: os principaisfatores que comprometem a qualidade de vida dos pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca. Conclui-se que os pacientes cominsuficiência cardíaca apresentam intolerância à realização de atividades físicas e têm seu sono prejudicado por conta dadispneia e fadiga, sintomas que contribuem para o declínio da qualidade de vida.Palavras-chave: Insuficiência Cardíaca; Qualidade de Vida; Enfermagem. ABSTRACTThe aim is to identify scientific evidence on the quality of life in patients diagnosed with heart failure. Integrativereview carried out in the Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Base de Dadosde Enfermagem (BDENF) e Sistema Online de Busca e Análise de Literatura Médica (MEDLINE) databases withthe question: How does heart failure interfere with the quality of life of cardiology patients? The PICO strategywith time cut from 2011 to 2016 was used in Portuguese, English and Spanish. The information was tabulated inMicrosoft Excel® program and processed from strategy: simple descriptive arithmetic mean, absolute and relativefrequency. It found 712 articles in their totality, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were selected17 scientific articles evaluated from the category: the main factors that compromise the quality of life of patientswith heart failure. It concludes that the patients with heart failure are intolerant to physical activities and sleepimpaired due to dyspnea and fatigue, such symptoms that contribute to the decline of quality of life.Keywords: Heart failure; Quality of life; Nursing.

Patients With Heart Failure

Iron deficiency (ID) is one of the most frequent comorbidities in patients with heart failure (HF). ID is estimated to be present in up to 50% of outpatients and is a strong independent predictor of HF outcomes. ID has been shown to reduce quality of life, exercise capacity and survival, in both the presence and absence of anemia. The most recent 2016 guidelines recommend starting replacement treatment at ferritin cutoff value <100 mcg/l or between 100 and 299 mcg/l when the transferrin saturation is <20%. Beyond its effect on hemoglobin, iron plays an important role in oxygen transport and in the metabolism of cardiac and skeletal muscles. Mitochondria are the most important sites of iron utilization and energy production. These factors clearly have roles in the diminished exercise capacity in HF. Oral iron administration is usually the first route used for iron repletion in patients. However, the data from the IRONOUT HF study do not support the use of oral iron supplementation in patients with HF and a reduced ejection fraction, because this treatment does not affect peak VO2 (the primary endpoint of the study) or increase serum ferritin levels. The FAIR-HF and CONFIRM-HF studies have shown improvements in symptoms, quality of life and functional capacity in patients with stable, symptomatic, iron-deficient HF after the administration of intravenous iron (i.e., FCM). Moreover, they have shown a decreased risk of first hospitalization for worsening of HF, as later confirmed in a subsequent meta-analysis. In addition, the EFFECT-HF study has shown an improvement in peak oxygen consumption at CPET (a parameter generally considered the gold standard of exercise capacity and a predictor of outcome in HF) in patients randomized to receive ferric carboxymaltose. Finally, the AFFIRM AHF trial evaluating the effects of FCM administration on the outcomes of patients hospitalized for acute HF has found significantly fewer hospital readmissions due to HF among patients treated with FCM rather than placebo.
