Key result
The Canadian Cardiovascular Society classification (CCVS) grades chronic stable myocardial ischemia symptoms from Class 1 (strenuous exertion) to Class 4 (any physical exertion).
The Canadian Cardiovascular Society classification provides a standardized 4-tier system for grading the severity of chronic angina pectoris based on exertional threshold.
CCVS offers standardized angina severity grading in practice; leaves open validation against contemporary outcomes and therapies.
Once it is determined that the patient's symptoms are thought to be due to chronic stable myocardial ischemia, the symptoms are then graded as 1 to 4 using the Canadian Cardiovascular Society classification (CCVS). Class 1-angina with strenuous exertion, Class ll-angina with moderate exertion, Class lll-angina with mild exertion, Class lV-angina with any level of physical exertion.

C. Richard Conti (2010) conducted a review in Chronic stable myocardial ischemia. Canadian Cardiovascular Society classification (CCVS) was evaluated. The Canadian Cardiovascular Society classification (CCVS) grades chronic stable myocardial ischemia symptoms from Class 1 (strenuous exertion) to Class 4 (any physical exertion).
