Increased fluid accumulation, reduced physical activity and heart rate variability during national holidays in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.
AimsThe higher incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) during national holidays could be caused by overindulgence of food and beverages, potentially straining the heart of vulnerable individuals. Monitoring decreased thoracic impedance by cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) can be used for detection of fluid accumulation. We aimed to assess the relationship between cardiac metrics and na
