Editorial
The paper advocates for the use of the complete New York Heart Association classification, including etiology, anatomy, physiology, and objective assessment, rather than just the functional classification.
The New York Heart Association functional classification is commonly used because the value of its determination is generally appreciated. The other four parts of the classification (etiology, anatomy, physiology, and objective assessment) are used less often. The purpose of this paper is to point out the value of using the entire New York Heart Association classification.
