Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire

The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) is a 21-item self-report measure that quantifies the multidimensional burden of heart failure on patients' daily living and quality of life. Developed by Rector, Kubo, and Cohn in 1987, the MLHFQ is the most widely used disease-specific QoL instrument in heart failure research and clinical practice, valued for its brevity, sensitivity to treatment response, and predictive value for prognosis.
