Implication

Post-hoc trial analysis reveals lower physical activity with aging and anemia in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, indicating limited reflection of patient-reported health.

Key Points

  • Physical activity decreases with older age and anemia in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, linking weakly to Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire scores.
  • Physical activity drops by 10 counts per minute for each year of age and 126 counts per minute with anemia, reflecting significant functional declines.
  • Post-hoc analysis of trial data highlights the need to interpret physical activity alongside clinical parameters in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
