Validation of the Cardiovascular Limitations and Symptoms Profile (CLASP) in Chronic Stable Angina

Abstract

The findings show CLASP to be a reliable, valid, sensitive measure of health-related quality of life in patients with chronic stable angina. Before it can be recommended for all patients with heart disorders, similar data will be required from other diagnostic groups such as patients with heart failure or those who have sustained an acute myocardial infarction.
