The Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Severity of Atrial Fibrillation (SAF) Scale is analogous to the CCS Angina Functional Class.
The CCS-SAF scale is assessed based on 3 parameters:
AF-related symptoms (palpitations, dyspnea, dizziness/syncope, chest pain, weakness/fatigue)
Determination of symptom-rhythm correlation
Assessment of the effect of symptoms on function and quality of life
CCS-SAF scores range from 0 (asymptomatic) to 4 (severe impact of symptoms on quality of life and activities of daily living).
