6: Classification of HF Flashcards
Class 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Patients with cardiac disease but without resulting limitations of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigues, palpitation, dyspnea, or anginal pain.
Class 1
Class 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Patients can perform to completion any activity requiring >5 metabolic equivalents but not >7 (sexual intercourse, gardening, raking, fox trot, walk at 4 mph on level surface).
Class 2
Class 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Patients can perform to completion any activity requiring >7 metabolic equivalents (carry 24 lbs up 8 stairs, carry objects that weight 80 lbs, jog 5 mph).
Class 1
Class 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Patients with cardiac disease resulting in inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of cardiac insufficiency or of anginal syndrome may be present even at rest. If any physical activity is undertaken discomfort is increased.
Class 4
Class 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Slight limitation of ordinary activity. Walking or climbing stairs rapidly, walking uphill, walking or climbing after meals, in cold, in wind, or when under emotional stress, or only during the few hours after waking. Walking more than 2 blocks on the level and climbing more than 1 flight of ordinary stairs at a normal pace and in normal conditions is problematic.
Class 2
Class 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Patients with cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea, or anginal pain.
Class 2
Class 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Patients can perform to completion any activity requiring >2 metabolic equivalents but not >5 (shower, strip/make a bed, clean windows, bowl, golf, walk 2.5 mph).
Class 3
Class 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Patients cannot or do not perform to completion activities requiring >2 metabolic equivalents.
Class 4
Class 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Marked limitation of ordinary physical activity: Walking 1-2 blocks on the level and climbing more than 1 flight of stairs in normal conditions.
Class 3
Class 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Ordinary physical activity, such as walking and climbing stairs, does not cause angina. Angina with strenuous or rapid or prolonged exertion at work or recreation.
Class 1
Class 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Inability to carry on physical activity without discomfort: anginal syndrome may be present at rest.
Class 4
Class 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Patients with cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary physical activity causes fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea, or anginal pain.
Class 3
