Cardiac Function Class

Cardiac Function Class refers to a system used to assess how well the heart is working, particularly in people with heart disease. It often categorizes individuals based on their capacity for physical activity and symptoms such as breathlessness or fatigue. The most common classification is the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class, which ranges from Class I (no limitations) to Class IV (severe limitations and symptoms even at rest). This classification helps doctors determine the severity of heart issues and guide treatment decisions, ensuring patients receive appropriate care based on their condition.
