Abstract :
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices not only deliver effective treatment but may also serve as valuable diagnostic tools in heart failure management. In the present study, the minutes of daily physical activity and heart rate variability, measured by sensors incorporated into such a device, reflected the effects of CRT and were related to New York Heart Association functional class.
