Abstract
The current status of quality of life research is briefly outlined as a background to work on the quality of life issues addressed in studies of cardiovascular medication. Chronic heart failure and hypertension provide the main focus for this report. The measures used and assessment issues for these studies are described; from functional status to health status or health-related quality of life to individually defined quality of life assessment. Finally, the key issues of concern for quality of life research in this area in the 1990s are outlined.
