简要总结
This trial is a single-center clinical trial in Taiwan with an expected enrollment of 60 people in Taiwan. The purpose of this trial is to compare the performance of middle-aged and elderly patients with subacute heart failure with that of a healthy control group in terms of balance function and executive function, as well as to investigate whether there is a correlation between balance function and executive function in middle-aged and elderly patients with heart failure and to track the changes in balance and executive function one month and three months after discharge from the hospital. Please think carefully before deciding whether to participate in this trial.

结局指标
主要结局
Berg Balance Scale
时间窗: T0 : Baseline ； T1: one month after discharge； T2: three months discharge
The balance function will be evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale. Berg Balance Scale have 14 subtests, each of which is scored on a scale of 0 to 4, for a total score of 56, with higher scores indicating better balance.
Timed Up and Go Test
时间窗: T0 : Baseline ； T1: one month after discharge； T2: three months discharge
The balance function will be evaluated using the Timed Up and Go Test. Timed Up and Go Test use a chronograph to measure the total time spent (in seconds), with less time representing better ability.
次要结局
- Color Trails Test(T0 : Baseline ； T1: one month after discharge； T2: three months discharge)
- Digit Span Test(T0 : Baseline ； T1: one month after discharge； T2: three months discharge)
- The Stroop Color and Word Test(T0 : Baseline ； T1: one month after discharge； T2: three months discharge)
