Impact of syncope history on long-term physical activity in patients ≥2 years after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a single-centre cross-sectional study in China

A history of syncope is a strong independent predictor of reduced PA in the long term after TAVR. These findings highlight that patients with a history of syncope, especially men and those with normal BMI, represent a high-risk subgroup warranting particular attention in post-TAVR care. Targeted assessment and rehabilitation strategies should be considered for this population, and further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
