Research progress on quality of life assessment tools for patients with coronary heart disease

Reviewing the current research status of quality of life assessment tools in coronary heart disease in China, this paper summarizes 14 evaluation tools, including 5 foreign universal scales, 8 specific scales, and 1 domestic specific scale. The most commonly used tools are the Concise Health Status Scale (SF-36) , the Seattle Angina Scale (SAQ) , and the Chinese Cardiovascular Patient Quality of Life Assessment Questionnaire. In general, the number of studies on the quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease has gradually increased in recent years. The scale of quality of life in coronary heart disease abroad is relatively mature and widely used, and the development of scales in this field started late, hence the current study focused on the use of scales introduced abroad.
