A higher score on the Seattle Angina Questionnaire indicates better functional status and quality of life. The Seattle Angina Questionnaire is designed to assess the impact of angina on a patient's daily activities and overall well-being. When patients report higher scores, it reflects reduced angina frequency, improved physical functioning, and greater overall health satisfaction. This suggests that they are experiencing fewer limitations due to their heart condition, leading to an overall better quality of life. Higher scores are associated with effective management of their condition, indicating that symptoms are well-controlled rather than worsening or increasing in severity.
