The Heart Failure Somatic Awareness Scale quantified physical HF symptoms. Delay, measured in days, was collected from the medical record and confirmed by interview.

Through agglomerative hierarchical clustering techniques, we found three physical HF symptom clusters that were then used to determine differences in cluster membership by demographic and clinical variables.
