AB  - BACKGROUND AND AIM: We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and determinants of 
      different stress coping strategies in Polish patients suffering from heart 
      failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF). METHODS: This manuscript is a 
      sub-study of the CAPS-LOCK-HF multicentre psychological status assessment of 
      patients with HFREF. Patients with > six-month history of HFREF and clinical 
      stability for >/= three months and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 45% 
      were enrolled in the study. Demographic and clinical variables were obtained from 
      medical records, while a standardised Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations 
      (CISS) was applied to all subjects. RESULTS: The study comprised 758 patients 
      (599 men; 79%) with a median age of 64 years (IQR 58-71). Median LVEF was 33% 
      (25-40). Subjects most commonly used task-oriented coping strategies (median CISS 
      score 55 points; IQR 49-61), followed by avoidance (45 points; 39-50) and 
      emotion-oriented coping strategies (41 points; 34-48). Distraction-based 
      avoidance coping strategies (20 points; 16-23) were more pronounced than social 
      diversion strategies (16 points; 14-19). Multiple regression analysis showed that 
      higher New York Heart Association (NYHA) class and lower systolic blood pressure 
      were independent predictors of task-oriented style. Emotion-oriented coping was 
      more common among females and higher NYHA classes, and in patients who did not 
      take angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Patients who used 
      avoidance-oriented strategies were more frequently those in sinus rhythm on 
      assessment and those who had less history of neoplastic disease. CONCLUSIONS: 
      Patients with HFREF most commonly use favourable task-oriented coping strategies. 
      However, female patients and those with higher NYHA classes tend to use 
      potentially detrimental emotion-oriented coping strategies.
