- Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ): Explanation and Clinical Context
The KCCQ is a validated, patient-reported outcome measure assessing physical limitation, symptom frequency, quality of life, and social limitation in patients with heart failure.
Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health status and lower symptom burden.
The Overall Summary Score is the average of the domain scores, providing a comprehensive measure of patient-perceived health status.
KCCQ is widely used in clinical trials and practice to monitor disease progression, assess treatment efficacy, and support patient-centered care.
