About the Seattle Angina Questionnaire

The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire is a 23-item, self-administered instrument that quantifies physical function, symptoms (frequency, severity and recent change), social function, self-efficacy and knowledge, and quality of life.

This instrument was developed and validated by John Spertus. John is Director of Cardiovascular Education and Outcomes Research at the Mid America Heart Institute, and he is also a Professor of Medicine at the University of Missouri – Kansas City.

In the KCCQ, an overall summary score can be derived from the physical function, symptom (frequency and severity), social function and quality of life domains. For each domain, the validity, reproducibility, responsiveness and interpretability have been independently established. Scores are transformed to a range of 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status. For brevity, only the performance characteristics of the overall summary score are presented in this discussion.
