ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida de pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca e correlacionar com a Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF). Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com amostra de 19 pacientes, com idade média de 66,28 ± 10,93 anos cuja qualidade de vida foi avaliada através do questionário de qualidade de vida Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ), sendo que para cada questão foi determinado uma categoria da CIF e estes resultados foram correlacionados. Resultados: A média do escore do questionário MLHFQ foi de 61,21 ± 17,56. Verificou-se correlação positiva entre a qualidade de vida e fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo (r = 0,75; p = 0,0006), fato que não ocorreu ao comparar a qualidade de vida com a classe funcional. Observou-se alta correlação entre as respostas dos pacientes e a avaliação do fisioterapeuta utilizando a CIF. Conclusões: O questionário MLFHQ contempla as exigências da CIF, possuindo alta correlação entre as respostas de ambos, sendo considerado global, o que possibilita o emprego destes instrumentos na avaliação de pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca congestiva (ICC).


Objective: To evaluate the quality of life of patients with heart failure and correlate it with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). Method: This is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 19 patients, mean age of 66.28 ± 10.93 years, whose quality of life was assessed by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ); for each question a domain of ICF was given whose results were then correlated. Results: The average MLHFQ questionnaire score was 61.21 ± 17.56. There was a positive correlation between the quality of life and left ventricular ejection fraction (r = 0.75; p = 0.0006), which was not seen when comparing the quality of life with functional class. There was a high correlation between patient outcomes and the assessment of the physiotherapist using the ICF. Conclusions: The MLFHQ questionnaire includes the requirements of the ICF, showing a high correlation between its responses and those from the ICF, and is considered global, which allows these instruments to be used in evaluating patients with congestive heart failure (CHF).
