Functional Capacity, Functional Performance, and Symptoms in People With Heart Failure
Commonly, symptoms experienced in HF are associated with declining functional status. However, this finding depends on the measures or metrics used to assess symptoms, functional capacity, and performance. The observed dissimilarities in the relationship between symptoms and functional capacity and performance highlight the conceptual distinctions, suggesting that authors of future studies should judiciously select appropriate dimensions and measures of functional status based on the study's purposes, design, and available resource.
