SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

The Seattle Angina Questionnaire is a quality-of-life measure for patients with coronary artery disease. The SAQ is a self-report instrument with 19 items that yields five subscale scores: physical limitation, angina stability, angina frequency, treatment satisfaction, and disease perception. The possible range of scores for each of the five subscales is 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life. There is no summary score generated.
