Reducing Sedentary Time in Patients With Heart Failure (Rest-HF)

August 19, 2019 updated by: University of Colorado, Denver
To determine the change in sedentary time and number of steps/day for older patients with heart failure at risk for mobility disability who receive a program to decrease sedentary behavior versus a standard program to increase exercise.
