“…MINICHAL consists of the short version 18 of Calidad de Vida em la Hipertensión Arterial (CHAL), developed and validated in Spain 14 - 16 . This is a self-administered instrument comprised of 16 items divided into the Mental Status (1 to 10) and Somatic Manifestations (11 to 16) dimensions, in addition to one general question on quality of life, which is not included in any of the dimensions.…”

IntroductionsIn the care of hypertension, it is important that health professionals possess available tools that allow evaluating the impairment of the health-related quality of life, according to the severity of hypertension and the risk for cardiovascular events. Among the instruments developed for the assessment of health-related quality of life, there is the Mini-Cuestionario of Calidad de Vida en la Hipertensión Arterial (MINICHAL) recently adapted to the Brazilian culture.ObjectiveTo estimate the validity of known groups of the Brazilian version of the MINICHAL regarding the classification of risk for cardiovascular events, symptoms, severity of dyspnea and target-organ damage.MethodsData of 200 hypertensive outpatients concerning sociodemographic and clinical information and health-related quality of life were gathered by consulting the medical charts and the application of the Brazilian version of MINICHAL. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare health-related quality of life in relation to symptoms and target-organ damage. The Kruskal-Wallis test and ANOVA with ranks transformation were used to compare health-related quality of life in relation to the classification of risk for cardiovascular events and intensity of dyspnea, respectively.ResultsThe MINICHAL was able to discriminate health-related quality of life in relation to symptoms and kidney damage, but did not discriminate health-related quality of life in relation to the classification of risk for cardiovascular events.ConclusionThe Brazilian version of the MINICHAL is a questionnaire capable of discriminating differences on the health‑related quality of life regarding dyspnea, chest pain, palpitation, lipothymy, cephalea and renal damage.

“…Despite the clinical benefits provided by the treatment, anti-hypertensive medications can have adverse effects, as well as the SAH itself, considering that the stigma of the diagnosis and the impact of its clinical expression may affect the pleasure of living (6) . Therefore, one important aspect in the assessment and approach of hypertensive patients is the health related quality of life (HRQoL).…”

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, the ceiling and floor effects and the reliability of the Instrument to Measure the Impact of Coronary Disease on Patient's Daily Life (IDCV) when applied to hypertensive patients. METHOD: one hundred and thirty seven hypertensive outpatients were interviewed, using questionnaires to collect sociodemographic and clinical data, followed by the IDCV. Reliability was assessed according to the temporal stability and internal consistency criteria. RESULTS: the IDCV was applied in 8.0 (±3.0) minutes with 100% of the items answered. A ceiling effect of 31.4% was observed in the domain Adjustment to the Disease. The stability measure was observed for the total score and for all domains. There was evidence of internal consistency of the total IDCV (α=0.83) and the domains Physical Impact of the Disease - Symptoms (α=0.78) and Social and Emotional Impact of the Disease (α=0.74). CONCLUSION: the IDCV is an instrument of easy use and its reliability among hypertensive patients is evidenced. The domain Adjustment to the Disease, however, should be reviewed in further studies.

“…In addition, patients with higher CITP levels had poorer functional capacity as assessed by NYHA classification compared to patients with lower levels. Although the observed strength of association is rather weak-only a 5% of the variance observed in HRQOL may be attributed to its relationship to CITP levels-, it is in context with previous published literature regarding the association of HRQOL and patient's exercise capacity (6 min walk test and VO 2 max) [26,27], echocardiographic indices [28], and functional status (NYHA class) [27,29]. According to our knowledge of current literature, our study is the first to report an association between high CITP levels and poor HRQOL, being consistent with a link between a central pathophysiologic mechanism i.e., collagen metabolism and patient self-assessed health status in heart failure syndrome.…”
