Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the quality of life of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction registered in the protocol for the use of metoprolol in a city in the interior of Bahia. Methods: This is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study with an exploratory research level. The research was conducted in interviews with users registered in the Protocol for the Use of Metoprolol, linked to Family Pharmacies in a municipality in the interior of Bahia, and the MLHFQ questionnaire was subsequently applied. The data obtained were tabulated and analyzed in Excel® version 2013 spreadsheets. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: The sample consisted of 34 participants, mostly male, with a mean age of 69.73 years, similar to other studies and, in addition, it was observed that HF represents one of the most common causes of disability in agreement with most research. Conclusion: It was observed that most participants had moderate quality of life, which is not entirely related to the decline in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF).
