Suffering of Heart Failure Similar to Cancer

I read a new article today in the US News and World Report magazine entitled "Suffering of Heart Failure Similar to Cancer". The article was based on a study that came out recently, where researchers interviewed advanced cancer patients and heart failure sufferers.

The study looked at 1) physical symptoms, depression, and spiritual well being. By all three measures, the heart failure patients ranked lower than advanced cancer patients.

The text of the article can be found online here: http://health.usnews.com/usnews/health/healthday/080502/suffering-of-heart-failure-similar-to-cancer.htm
