The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Translation of Dyspnea 12 in Urdu version

    D12 scale is used in assessment of dyspnea severity using its descriptors consist of sensory quality and effective component.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Six minute Walk test

    It is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity. 30-metre stretch of unimpeded walkway is used and patient is instructed to walk as far as possible for 6 minutes. Test retest reliability of 6MWT showed good internal consistency (ICC=0.9) in patients with heart failure patients

    Measured: 4 week
