The use of accelerometers to improve clinical outcomes in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators or at high risk of sudden cardiac death

Abstract

Wearable accelerometers hold promise in assessing individual physical behaviour, potentially serving as prognostic predictors of future events. This commentary critically evaluates a systematic review that examined the association between physical behaviour and key clinical outcomes in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators or who were at risk of sudden cardiac death.
