Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The assessment of the level of anxiety, depression and quality of life among patients with heart failure. It was an observational study. The populations were 231 patients with heart failure who were hospitalized in cardiology departments of 2 general hospitals in Athens, from September 1, 2010 through January 31, 2012. We used the “Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire - MLHFQ” to evaluate patients' quality of life and the “ State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - STAI” and the “Maastricht Questionnaire - MQ” to evaluate the level of stress and depression, respectively. The mean age of patients was 66.1 ± 10.1 years. The quality of life was poor, since the average score in MLHFQ was 65.4 ± 20.6. Also, patients revealed high levels of both trait and state anxiety (mean score in STAI was 54.5 ± 9.4 and 52.8 ± 8.5 respectively) and depression (mean score in MQ was 34.3 ± 8.4). Factors associated with poor quality of life and high levels of anxiety and depression were older age, low level of education, unemployment, poor economic situation, multiple hospitalizations (> 4 times) and heart failure stages III and IV in NYHA ( p < 0.001 in all cases). Patients with heart failure present severe symptoms of anxiety and depression and poor quality of life. Assessing those patients for these symptoms and providing holistic health care by a multidisciplinary team, will lead to the prevention and early treatment not only of physical but also of the psychosocial manifestations of the disease.
