Reducing Sedentary Time in Individuals With Pacemakers - Tracking By Pacemaker-Based Accelerometry
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Physical activity counseling and Usual care for Physical Activity and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 21 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The benefits of regular physical activity are well-established. Furthermore, the investigators have previously shown that in a population of patients with implanted pacemakers, those who exercise more than 2 hours daily have improved survival compared with those who exercise less than 2 hours daily. In this study, the aim f the investigators is to determine whether the offering subjects with pacemakers who have low levels of physical activity at baseline counseling to increase physical activity levels is effective as measured by their implanted device as well as by an external pacemaker. The investigators seek to enroll about 30 patients into a 6-month 1:1 randomized interventional trial comparing the levels of physical activity in 2 groups, those who receive physical activity counseling versus usual care. The activity levels will be measured with external pedometers and with accelerometers embedded within the pacemaker device.
