Physical Activity, Inactivity and Sleep in Individuals with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2166-3918Physical activity presents an important cornerstone in the management and care of
individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Twenty-one individuals with
HCM (age: 52±15 years old, body mass index (BMI):
30±7 kg/m2) completed 7-day monitoring
using wrist-worn triaxial accelerometers (GENEActiv, ActivInsights Ltd, UK) and
were compared to age and sex-matched healthy controls (age: 51±14 years
old, BMI: 25±4 kg/m2). For individuals with
HCM, clinical parameters (left atrial diameter and volume, peak oxygen
consumption, NTproBNP and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLHF)) were
correlated with accelerometry. After adjusting for BMI, individuals with HCM
spent less time in moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) (86
(55–138) vs. 140 (121–149) minutes/day,
p<0.05) compared to healthy controls. Individuals with HCM
engaged in fewer MVPA-5 min (6 (2–15) vs. 27 (23–37)
minutes/day, p<0.01) and MVPA-10 min bouts (9
(0–19) vs. 35 (17–54) minutes/day,
p<0.01) versus healthy controls. For HCM only, peak oxygen
consumption was correlated with MVPA (r=0.60,
p<0.01) and MVPA-5 min bouts (r=0.47,
p<0.05). MLHF score was correlated with sleep duration
(r=0.45, p<0.05). Individuals with HCM should
