Grading Scale
Class Angina severity
Class 1 Angina during strenuous.
Prolonged physical activity.
Class 2 Slight limitation with angina.
Only during vigorous physical activity.
Class 3 Moderate limitation.
Symptoms with every day living activity.
Class 4 Sever limitation.
Inability to perform any activity without angina.
Angina at rest.

10. NYHA Classification
Class Defination
NYHA class 1No symptoms.
With normal physical activity.
Normal functional status.
NYHA class2Milled symptoms.
With normal physical activity. Comfortable at rest.
Slight limitation of functional status.
NYHA class3Moderatesymptoms.
With less than normal physical activity. Comfortable only at rest.
Markedlimitation of functional status.
NYHA class4Sever symptoms.
With features ofheart failure,
With minimal physical activity and even at rest.
Sever limitation of functional status.
