The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized measure of health status developed by the EuroQol Group. Patients describe their perceived health status using an analog scale with 0 as the worst health the patient can imagine and 100 as the best health (Visual Analog Score). The patients' scores at one, three and six months were compared to their baseline scores and the resulting positive scores indicated improved quality of life.

The Six Minute Walk Test(6MWT)measures the distance that a patient can walk in a period of 6 minutes. The distance walked is measured in meters. This test measures the patients' functional status. The more meters a patient can walk over baseline indicates improvement in functional status.

NYHA classification relates symptoms to every day activities and patients quality of life. Class 1 = no limitations on physical activity Class 2 - slight limitation of physical activity Class 3 - marked limitation of physical activity Class 4 = unable to carry out any physical activity without discomfort
