Physical Activity in Adults With Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillators in the Post–Myocardial Infarction Period

Abstract

PA in adults early after hospital discharge is modest and improves over the course of the 90-d WCD prescription in regular wearers. Improved health status may account for this change. The WCD accelerometer may have value in future clinical care and research by providing a window into daily patient PA levels via remote monitoring.
