Duke Activity Status Index
Purpose	used to evaluate the functional capacity of those with cardiovascular disease

In clinical practice, DASI can be used to assess the effects of medical treatments and cardiac rehabilitation as well.^[2] Positive responses are summed up to get a total score, which ranges from 0 to 58.2. Higher scores would indicate a higher functional capacity.^{[citation needed]}
