Accelerometer-measured physical activity in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: Determinants and relationship with patient-reported health status
In patients with HFrEF, older age and anemia were independently associated with lower activity. Moreover, physical activity only weakly increased with better health status, suggesting that changes in physical activity reflect improvements in patients' health status to a limited degree. This highlights the need to better understand the endpoint with regards to all other health parameters to ease interpretation in future HF trials.
