KCCQ (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire)

The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a tool used by healthcare providers to assess how heart disease affects a person's daily life and well-being. It consists of a series of questions that focus on symptoms, physical limitations, and emotional distress related to heart function. By gathering this information, doctors can better understand a patient’s condition, tailor treatments, and monitor progress. The KCCQ is important for managing heart failure and improving the quality of life for those affected by cardiomyopathy and other heart-related issues.
