Accelerometer-derived physical activity and the risk of death, heart failure, and stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation: a prospective study from UK Biobank

Regular MVPA should be encouraged in patients with AF as a part of integrated management.PMID:38418213 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2023-106862
