The aim of the current study was to determine whether physical activity is associated with manifesting spontaneous sustained VT/VF requiring emergent defibrillation in patients with an ejection fraction of ≤35%.Physical activity is reduced prior to ventricular arrhythmiasin patients with a wearable cardioverter defibrillatorArticle10.1002/clc.23288
