Is the Persian version of the MacNew quality of life questionnaire a valid and reliable tool for Iranian patients after acute myocardial infarction?
The Persian version of the MacNew questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for assessing quality of life in Iranian patients after myocardial infarction.
The Persian version of the MacNew questionnaire is comparable to the English version. It has high internal consistency and reasonable reproducibility, making it an appropriate specific quality of life tool for population-based studies and clinical practice in Iran in patients who have survived an acute myocardial infraction. Further studies are needed to confirm its validity in larger populations with cardiovascular disease.
