Heart Failure Symptoms Improve With More Intense Physical Activity
For HF patients with an ICD, more intense PA over 2 months was associated with improved psychological symptoms and reduced fatigue. Decreases in PA (total and intensity) were not associated with changes in symptoms. Interventions promoting increasing the intensity of PA over time may be an effective approach to reduce some HF symptoms.
