Article Synopsis
- This study examined how COVID-19 curfews impacted physical activity in heart failure patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).
- Data from 82 patients showed a significant 27.1% decrease in physical activity during lockdown, dropping from an average of 2.4 to 1.8 hours per day.
- The findings emphasize the need to be aware of the potential health risks for heart failure patients due to reduced physical activity during lockdown situations.
