seattle angina questionnaire 19-item self-administered health risk assessment for
angina and functional artery disease measuring five
dimensions of coronary artery disease:
1 physical limitation, 2 anginal stability, 3 anginal
frequency, 4 treatment satisfaction and 5 disease
perception.
-score of 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate
better function (eg, less physical limitation, less
angina, and better quality of life).
, arthritis impact measurement scales health risk assessment: Disease-specific measure of
physical, social, and emotional well-being

Score range: Range is 0-10 for each section. Total
health score 0-60.
