Green et al. (Sat,) conducted a observational in Congestive heart failure (CHF) (n=129). Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) vs. Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire and SF-36 was evaluated on Convergent validity of each KCCQ domain (r = 0.46 to 0.74, p=<0.001). The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire demonstrated strong convergent validity (r=0.46-0.74, p<0.001) and high sensitivity to clinical changes over 3 months in patients with heart failure.
