Abstract
The impact of heart failure varies amongst patients but the overall burden of disease appears to be comparable to other chronic conditions such as motor neurone or Parkinson's disease. The EQ-5D appears to be an acceptable valid measure for use in patients with heart failure although further evidence of the responsiveness of this measure in such patients is required.
