The goal of this observational study is to learn about the prevalence of depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment and their association with worse outcomes in a cohort of hospitalized patients between the ages of 18 ang 85 years with chronic heart failure. The main question it aims to answer is:

Participants who are hospitalized due to exacerbation of chronic heart failure will answer survey questions to assess their cognitive function and depressive symptoms.
Inclusion: patient hospitalized primarily for CHF exacerbation; clinically stable, able to provide informed consent; do not have severe cognitive impairment that would preclude valid questionnaire administration.
Exclusion: hospitalization for acute heart failure; severe visual impairment preventing completion of the visual part of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment; total length of hospital stay <96 hours; absence of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) within the last 12 months and no TTE planned; refusal to participate.
