Detailed description

Literature suggested that Duke Activity Index (DASI) is a questionnaire originally developed in English To evaluate the functionality. DASI was used primarily to assess patients with cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, myocardial ischemia, and infarction. In clinical practice, DASI can be used to know the effects of medical treatments and cardiac rehabilitation and to assist clinical decisions In controlled clinical trials, DASI can also be used to assess interventions and as a component for assessing the costs/benefits of treatment.
