AB  - It is noticeable that the attention of clinical researchers worldwide is 
      increasingly being focused upon the effects of heart failure, which in the past 
      may not have had the attention given to other conditions. Despite a range of 
      innovative treatments, morbidity and mortality rates in heart failure remain 
      high. In this American study, the psychometric properties of three quality of 
      life scales were compared. These were the Chronic Heart Failure Questionnaire 
      (CHFQ), the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (LHFQ), and the 
      General Health Survey Short-form12 (SF-12). A convenience sample of 211 patients 
      with heart failure completed baseline questionnaires via telephone interviews. 
      Follow-up interviews were conducted at four, eight and 26 weeks. A total of 165 
      patients (78 per cent) completed the study, while 11 patients (5 per cent) died 
      during the course of the research project. Overall, the results indicated that 
      patients had a lowto-moderate health-related quality of life.
