Key result
Advanced physiological stages (C and D) were associated with significantly lower physical domain quality of life scores compared to Stage A, whereas anatomical classification showed no significant differences.
Why the study?
Living well is as important as living longer, prompting the need to assess quality of life in congenital heart disease according to current AHA/ACC anatomical and physiological classifications.

How does quality of life vary in congenital heart disease patients according to their AHA/ACC anatomical and physiological classification?
This study aims to assess quality of life in congenital heart disease patients based on AHA/ACC anatomical and physiological classifications.

Mart韓ez-Quintana et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Congenital Heart Disease (n=191). Advanced physiological classification (Stages C and D) vs. Stage A physiological classification was evaluated on Physical domain score on the WHOQoL-Bref questionnaire (p=<0.05). Advanced physiological stages (C and D) were associated with significantly lower physical domain quality of life scores compared to Stage A, whereas anatomical classification showed no significant differences.
