Comparison of questionnaire and accelerometer-based assessments of physical activity in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: clinical and prognostic implications

Objective. (i) To compare daily physical activity (PA) levels evaluated by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and by triaxial accelerometry in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients; (ii) to describe daily PA patterns based in objective measurements; and (iii) to observe the association between prognostic indicators and PA measurements. Design. This is a cross-sectional study with 24 stable HFpEF...
