Canadian Cardiovascular Society Angina Grading Scale
The Canadian Cardiovascular Society Angina Grading Scale is commonly used for the classification of severity of angina:
- Class I – Angina only during strenuous or prolonged physical activity
- Class II – Slight limitation, with angina only during vigorous physical activity
- Class III – Symptoms with everyday living activities, i.e., moderate limitation
- Class IV – Inability to perform any activity without angina or angina at rest, i.e., severe limitation
It is similar to the New York Heart Association Functional Classification of heart failure.
