description Exercise testing is often performed in persons with cardiac disease to measure their functional capacity. Physical activity questionnaires assessing functional capacity have been used a low-cost and convenient alternative to exercise testing, but have not been well validated against measured oxygen consumption in a cardiac population. This study assesses the ability of a simple, 13-item activity questionnaire, known as the Specific Activity Questionnaire (SAQ), to measure functional capacity prospectively in a large sample of cardiac patients. Ninety-seven consecutive cardiac outpatients (85 men and 12 women aged 59 +/- 10 years [mean +/- SD]) completed the SAQ before an elective symptom-limited treadmill test. Subjects returned within 10 days to repeat the treadmill test, following the same protocol, with the additional measurement of peak oxygen consumption, VO2 (ml x kg(-1)min(-1)), using open circuit spirometry. The SAQ score was significantly related to measured peak VO2(r=0.57, p

Peak VO2 was obtained from the following regression formula: [formula: see text]. Thus SAQ, a simple 13-item self-administered activity questionnaire, is able to provide a moderately good measure of functional capacity in cardiac patients and may be useful tool in studies of the cardiac population when formal exercise testing is impractical or uneconomical.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0002-9149</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1879-1913</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/S0002-9149(97)89157-6</identifier><identifier>PMID: 8651099</identifier><identifier>CODEN: AJCDAG</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>New York, NY: Elsevier</publisher><subject>Activities of Daily Living ; Aged ; Biological and medical sciences ; Cardiology.
