The PARTNER II Trial intermediate-risk cohort unadjusted rates, as-treated population (n=1,818). Showing representative questions of daily life activities from EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) and short form KCCQ-12. The graph represents select categories, other daily life activities from EQ-5D and KCCQ-12. Activities captured by these quality of life measures include: hobbies or recreational activities, visiting family or friends out of their home, hurrying or jogging (as if to catch a bus) and the frequency of: shortness of breath, sleeping sitting up, and swelling in feet, ankles or legs upon waking.  Patients reporting “limited for other reasons or did not do the activity” were not included in the analysis.
