AB  - OBJECTIVE: To assess the urologic symptoms among patients with chronic heart 
      failure (CHF) and to explore whether a higher classification of CHF increases the 
      risk associated with overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and lower urinary tract 
      symptoms. METHODS: A total of 214 ambulatory patients with CHF (129 men and 85 
      women) and 378 age-matched subjects (222 men and 156 women) were enrolled in the 
      present study. The urologic symptoms were evaluated using the Overactive Bladder 
      Symptom Score (OABSS) and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) from 
      January to June 2010. RESULTS: Compared with the controls, the patients with CHF 
      had a significantly greater mean OABSS (4.6+/-3.6 vs 3.4+/-3.1, P<.001), total IPSS 
      (8.3+/-6.9 vs 6.9+/-7.6, P=.021), and storage IPSS (4.8+/-3.5 vs 3.7+/-3.3, P<.001). Of 
      the patients with CHF, 34.1% had moderate/severe OAB symptoms (OABSS>/=6), and 
      43.5% had moderate/severe lower urinary tract symptoms (IPSS>/=8). Compared with 
      patients who had New York Heart Association (NYHA) class I CHF, the patients with 
      NYHA class III CHF had a significantly greater OABSS and total, storage, and 
      voiding IPSSs. Patients with NYHA class II CHF did not. A greater body mass index 
      and stroke were significantly associated with the OABSS and storage IPSS, and 
      pulmonary disease was significantly associated with the voiding IPSS. CONCLUSION: 
      The patients with CHF had more storage urinary symptoms suggestive of OAB than 
      did the age-matched controls. Among the patients with CHF, greater NYHA class 
      heart function was significantly associated with OAB and lower urinary tract 
      symptoms.
