What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating how seasonal changes affect physical activity levels in patients with heart failure who have cardiac implantable electronic devices. This observational study aims to understand variations in activity across different seasons in this specific group of patients. The study involves monitoring physical activity objectively and subjectively every three months throughout one year, covering all four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Participants will not receive experimental treatments but will be followed to assess their activity levels and related factors. Participants will be evaluated quarterly for one year to measure their physical activity levels, functional capacity, and motivation for physical activity. These assessments will help researchers understand how seasonal differences impact patients with heart failure and implanted cardiac devices over time.
