Risks & contraindications

Highlighted claims

• The study proposed fear of movement and activity avoidance as plausible mechanisms linking pre-TAVR syncope to later inactivity, but did not directly measure these variables. — Impact of syncope history on long-term physical activity in patients ≥2 years after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a single-centre cross-sectional study in China
• Fear of falling has been shown to lead to activity avoidance and long-term negative effects on physical ability. — Impact of syncope history on long-term physical activity in patients ≥2 years after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a single-centre cross-sectional study in China
• Kinesiophobia has been identified in cardiovascular rehabilitation literature as a barrier to activity participation and rehabilitation. — Impact of syncope history on long-term physical activity in patients ≥2 years after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a single-centre cross-sectional study in China
• Syncope events during exertion may cause patients to associate physical activity with risk of recurrent syncope, worsening heart function, or adverse outcomes. — Impact of syncope history on long-term physical activity in patients ≥2 years after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a single-centre cross-sectional study in China
