Assessment of the quality of life in patients with cardiac arrhythmias using questionnaires is increasingly becoming the subject of clinical studies. However, there are no uniform criteria and standard norms for assessing the quality of life. Each questionnaire has its own criteria and assessment scale. This review presents the main general questionnaires that have been used in world practice to assess the quality of life in cardiology and arrhythmology. Special questionnaires are considered, which are used to clarify the parameters of the quality of life of interest in cardiac arrhythmias. Particular attention is paid to the assessment of this indicator in patients with ventricular arrhythmias.
