Hoarding to the heart’s content: a case series and detailed case report
of hoarding treatment in heart failure
Abstract
Hoarding disorder (HD) is characterized by an accumulation of
possessions due to excessive acquisition of, or difficulty discarding
possessions. Evidence demonstrates an increased cardiovascular response
in patients with HD. Cognitive-behavioral therapy modifications are
described for HD patients with heart failure to compensate for
fatigability, syncope and falls risk.
