The PRO
The Myocardial Infarction Dimensional Assessment Scale (MIDAS)
The MIDAS has been developed so as to be sensitive to change in short and long-term outcomes measurement following MI. The 35-item MIDAS contains seven dimensions (physical activity; insecurity; emotional reaction; dependency; diet; concerns over medication; side effects) addressing concerns distinctively associated with MI patients.
