慢性心力衰竭是一組临床综合征，是由多种原因导致的心肌结构和功能变化，终致心室泵血或充盈功能低下，发病率较高[1]。数据显示成人慢性心力衰竭发病率为l%～2%，并随年龄增加而增长，70岁以上的老年人甚至超过10%，我国慢性心力衰竭患约有450万，成年人群中患病率为0.9%[2-3]，随着人口老龄化的到来，发病率仍具有明显上升的趋势。

功能性便秘临床常见症状，患者以排便次数减少、粪便干结、排便费力等为主要表现，约占便秘发生率的47.1%[4]。随着生活习惯和饮食结构的改变，我国便秘发生率为3%～17%[5]，且呈现逐年上升趋势。Choung等[6]研究发现便秘的发病率与年龄呈正相关，老年冠心病患者便秘发生率高达40%～60%[7]，原因可能与年龄、饮食、活动、环境、精神心理、药物等诸多因素有关。
