      Aims To investigate the associations of cardiorespiratory fitness with cardiac, vascular, renal and cardiorenal characteristics in chronic heart failure in a telerehabilitation randomized clinical trial. Secondly, to evaluate the associations of cardiorenal syndrome with the effects of exercise.<p> <p<Methods and results Sixty-nine heart failure patients attended baseline examination, and 61 ...
    • Digital interventions to promote physical activity among inactive adults: A study protocol for a hybrid type I effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial 

      Zanaboni, Paolo; Manskow, Unn Sollid; Sagelv, Edvard Hamnvik; Morseth, Bente; Edvardsen, Alf Egil; Aksetøy, Inger-Lise Aamot; Nes, Bjarne; Hastings, Bryce; Gagnon, Marie-Pierre; Antypas, Konstantinos (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-21)
      Introduction: Physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, and inactive adults have a higher risk to develop lifestyle diseases. To date, there is preliminary evidence of the efficacy of fitness technologies and other digital interventions for physical activity (PA) promotion. Intervention studies are needed to test the effectiveness and implementation of innovative ...
    • Feasibility of telerehabilitation for heart failure patients inaccessible for outpatient rehabilitation 

      Lundgren, Kari Margrethe; Langlo, Knut Asbjørn Rise; Salvesen, Øyvind; Zanaboni, Paolo; Cittanti, Elisa; Mo, Rune; Ellingsen, Øyvind; Dalen, Håvard; Aksetøy, Inger-Lise Aamot (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-23)
      Aims Despite strong recommendations, outpatient cardiac rehabilitation is underused in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Possible barriers are frailty, accessibility, and rural living, which may be overcome by telerehabilitation. We designed a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility of a 3-month real-time, home-based telerehabilitation, high-intensity exercise programme for ...
    • Validity of a smartwatch for detecting atrial fibrillation in patients after heart valve surgery: a prospective observational study 

      Müller, Margrethe; Hanssen, Tove Aminda; Johansen, David; Jakobsen, Øyvind; Pedersen, John Erling; Aksetøy, Inger-Lise Aamot; Rasmussen, Trine Bernholdt; Hartvigsen, Gunnar; Skogen, Vegard; Thrane, Gyrd (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-25)
      Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common early arrhythmia after heart valve surgery that limits physical activity. We aimed to evaluate the criterion validity of the Apple Watch Series 5 single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) for detecting AF in patients after heart valve surgery.<p> <p>Design: We enrolled 105 patients from the University Hospital of North Norway, of whom 93 completed the study. ...
