Descriptive and inferential analysis (T-Test, Chi Squared Test, Fisher’s Test, Pearson’s Test) by SPSS 15 were used to analyze the data.Results: The results indicate that QUALITY OF LIFE in 49.6%, of CHF patients were desirable, and in QUALITY OF LIFE subsecter, social dimension in 83.2% of patients was desirable, while physical dimension (63.2%) and psychological dimension (63.2%) in most of the patients were undesirable. From patients characteristics, sex (p=0.017), ejection fraction (p=0.001), married status (p=0.009), and educational status (p=0.027) had significant relationship with QOL. QOL in CHF patients (134.9 ± 21) was similar to hemodialysis (131.3 ± 21), but was lower than stroke patients (155.8 ± 33.6) and healthy people (155.2 ± 28.2).Conclusion: In regard to low QOl in CHF patients it is suggested that families and health care planner and managers improve QUALITY OF LIFE in CHF patients.
