MLWHF is a validated instrument to self assess how heart failure and its treatment affect the key physical, emotional, social and psychological dimensions of quality of life. The instrument is made up of 21 items that assess the patient's perception of these dimensions on a scale ranging from no (0) to very much (5). The total MLWHF score is calculated by adding the scores for all 21 items (range, 0-105). A lower score indicates a better quality of life. The patients' scores at Baseline, 1, 3, 6 and 12 Months post-implant are presented and indicate improved quality of life.

KCCQ is a validated instrument to self assess quality of life including physical function and social function. Scores are calculated based on responses to the questionnaire, on a scale from 0-100. The higher the score, the better the quality of life. The patients' scores at Baseline, 1, 3, 6 and 12 Months are presented and indicate improved quality of life.

The WMS-LM is a measure of auditory attention and memory. This contextual memory task requires patients to recall a passage read by the examiner. Their memory tasks are avoided during the intervening time so as not to disrupt recall. The WMS-LM test provides a comparision for immediate recall and the WMS-LM Delayed provides a comparison for recall that is delayed 30 minutes. The test is scored in a range from 0-50, where the higher score is considered better

The WAIS block is a measure of visual spatial and visual motor ability. The patient is given a stimulus configuration to replicate with red and white blocks while being timed, first starting with four blocks and progressing to a nine block configuration. Performance is scored on time upon full completion of the task with a maximum of 68 points. The higher the score, the better.
