Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Physical Activity in Patients With Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators

Abstract: The strict lockdown strategy prompted by the Italian government, to hamper severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) spreading, reduced opportunities to perform physical activity. This study quantified an abrupt and statistically significant reduction by 25% of physical activity in patients with implantable defibrillators, during the forced 40-d in-home confinement.

“…Studies show that patients with pre-existing NCDs have found it difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle during the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdown measures introduced by countries 227 . Patients with coronary heart disease [228][229][230][231][232] , neurological disorders 233,234 , diabetes 235,236 and cancer 237,238 have had to compromise on their physical activity routine, dietary patterns, and social connectedness in particular 227,236,239,240 as did families with children who had chronic respiratory diseases 193,241 . Poor glycemic control in diabetics due to altered lifestyle was reported in many studies [242][243][244][245][246][247][248] , while one study in India reported an improvement in the glycemic status of patients with type II diabetes mellitus 249 .…”

“…Eine so differenzierte Einteilung – wie oben ausgeführt – lag jedoch für die dortige kardiologische Versorgung noch nicht vor, wie eine Umfrage der Italian Association of Arrhythmology and Cardiac Pacing zeigte [ 4 ]. So schien die Versorgung von Patienten mit Rhythmusimplantaten während des Lockdowns gravierend eingeschränkt zu sein [ 5 ]. Basierend auf dieser Befragung von 104 Ärzten aus 84 rhythmologischen Zentren, die damit fast ein Viertel der vorhandenen Rhythmologien darstellen, haben sich im Zeitraum von Ende April bis Ende Mai 2020 im Vergleich zum identischen Vorjahreszeitraum bedeutsame Veränderungen ergeben.…”

“…In einer kleinen italienischen Studie wurden an 24 Patienten die Auswirkungen des 40-tägigen strikten Lockdowns auf die körperliche Aktivität untersucht [ 5 ]. Via Home-Monitoring wurden bei ICD-Trägern, die aus primärprophylaktischer Indikation versorgt worden sind, die Akzelerometerdaten mit dem vergleichbaren Zeitintervall vor dem Lockdown verglichen.…”

“…From a global population standpoint, physical activity (PA) patterns are declining because of social distancing, remote working, and other local/state/federal restrictions put in place to reduce viral transmission. 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 These changes in PA may have lasting detrimental impacts on population CRF, leading to a further increase in risk for a multitude of poor health outcomes, posing global challenges for health care providers and policymakers. There are also concerns over the impact COVID-19 will have on muscle function and bone/joint health.…”
