Predictors of Walking Activity in Patients With Systolic Heart Failure Equipped With a Step Counter: Randomized Controlled Trial by Josefine Dam Gade<\/em> et al.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Results<\/strong>: A higher walking activity was associated with younger age, lower New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, and higher ejection fraction (EF). There was a statistically significant correlation between the number of daily steps and NYHA classification at baseline (P=.01), between the increase in daily steps and EF at baseline (P<.001), and between the increase in daily steps and improvement in EF (P=.005). The patients\u2019 demographic, clinical, and activity data could predict 81% of the variation in daily steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusions<\/strong>: This study demonstrated an association between demographic, clinical, and activity data for patients with HF that could predict daily steps. A step counter can thus be a useful tool to help patients monitor their own physical activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See published paper here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have just published a new paper from the Future Patient – telerehabilitation of Heart Failure Patients trial: Predictors of Walking Activity in Patients With Systolic Heart Failure Equipped With a Step Counter: Randomized Controlled Trial by Josefine Dam Gade et al.
