No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
In patients with HFpEF, only physical activity levels at or above current guideline recommendations are associated with a lower risk of HF hospitalization or mortality.
Pandey et al. (2017) conducted an editorial in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) (n=1,751). Physical activity vs. Poor and intermediate physical activity was evaluated on HF hospitalization and mortality. Among 1,751 patients with HFpEF, only the 11% engaging in guideline-recommended physical activity levels had a lower risk of HF hospitalization or mortality within 2 years.
