Quality of life during antihypertensive therapy: techniques for clinical assessment and evaluation.

M A Testa.   

Abstract

Assessment of the impact of antihypertensive therapy upon the quality of life of the hypertensive patient can provide practical data associated with patient acceptance of therapy. For measurement purposes, quality of life is the organizing concept around which the major components relating to the patient's subjective evaluation of symptoms, functions and perceptions revolve. Substantive evaluation of quality of life involves the organization of psychometric items or questions which form the basic scales underlying these major components including, symptom distress, well-being, vitality, depression, anxiety, work performance, sexual functioning, cognition and life satisfaction.
