The cardiac health profile: content, reliability and validity of a new disease-specific quality of life questionnaire.

abstract：:Cardiac hypertrophy is a physiological adaptive response by the heart to pressure overload. However, after prolonged periods, this initial adaptive response becomes maladaptive, leading to increased mortality and morbidity from heart failure. Recently, 3-hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibit...
