Term Description

The emotional subscore reported as part of the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (R) Questionnaire is calculated by adding the numeric responses to 5 specific self-assessments regarding whether or not a patient's heart failure prevented them from living as they wanted during the past month (4 weeks) from an emotional perspective. The 5 assessments used (by question number in survey) are: 17 - making you feel you are a burden to your family or friends; 18 - making you feel a loss of self-control in your life; 19 - making you worry; 20 - making it difficult for you to concentrate or remember things and 21 - making you feel depressed.

The responses are based on a scale of 0-5 where 0 = No, 1 = Very Little and 5 = Very Much; therefore the emotional subscore is out of a total of 25 points, with a higher score indicating increasing difficulty.
