“…Assessment of health status directly accounts for the patient's perspective on how the disease is affecting his or her life, and many patients express a desire for quality of life that is equal to or greater than their desire for quantity of life. 119 Assessment of patient health status is consistent with the Institute of Medicine's call for more patient-centered care in order to provide the highest quality of care. 86 Thus, health status measurement should be considered for inclusion in any national surveillance of heart disease and stroke to ensure that the surveillance accounts for how well people are living, not just how long they are living.…”

Is depression a causal risk factor, directly related to cardiovascular disease and outcome?…”

Exercise training improves quality of life 56 in heart failure patients and may favorably impact their sexual activity.…”
