In a cohort of ICD recipients, a significant decrease in physical activity was observed in the month preceding MACE. To our knowledge, this is the first study that observes time-dependent changes in activity in relation to MACE in a generalizable cohort of ICD recipients. ICD activity monitoring in patients at high risk for MACE may enhance patient care.
