Σύνοψη	The Heart Failure Somatic Awareness Scale (HFSAS) is a specialized measure that assesses heart failure patients' ability to recognize and accurately perceive early warning signs of disease worsening (somatic awareness), such as subtle changes in dyspnea, edema, weight, fatigue, or palpitations. Early recognition of decompensation signs enables prompt self-management action (diuretic adjustment, physician contact) and prevents costly hospitalizations. The HFSAS is essential in modern HF management, particularly with remote monitoring technologies and self-management support programs.	The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a 23-item, multidimensional self-report measure that evaluates heart failure-related symptoms, functional limitations, and quality of life in patients with cardiomyopathy and heart failure of all severities. Developed by Spertus and colleagues in 2000, the KCCQ provides six disease-specific domains and a clinically summary score, making it ideal for comprehensive, domain-focused assessment in both clinical practice and research.
