    Objective. (i) To compare daily physical activity (PA) levels evaluated by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and by triaxial accelerometry in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients; (ii) to describe daily PA patterns based in objective measurements; and (iii) to observe the association between prognostic indicators and PA measurements. Design. This is a cross-sectional study with 24 stable HFpEF patients. PA was assessed through the IPAQ short version and triaxial accelerometer. Time spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) from IPAQ was computed as self-reported walking and MVPA. Prognostic indicators were: distance on the 6-minute-walking test (6MWT), oxygen consumption (VO2) during the test, quality of life (QoL), BNP plasma level, and E/e' ratio. Results. Compared to accelerometry, IPAQ underestimated sedentary time (253 ± 156 vs. 392 ± 104 min/day, p = .001) and overestimated MVPA (44 ± 56 vs. 19.3 ± 26 min/day, p < .001). Accelerometer-derived data showed that HFpEF patients spent 50% of their waking time in sedentary behaviours and 2.5% in MVPA. Of measured surrogate prognostic markers, functional capacity (6MWT, r = 0.652, p = .04; VO2, r = 0.512, p = .02) and QoL (r=-0.490, p = .04) were correlated with MVPA. Conclusions. The IPAQ underestimated sedentary time and over-estimated MVPA in HFpEF patients. Using accelerometer-derived data, HFpEF patients spent only a minority of their time involved in MVPA, which was the only PA pattern positively associated with prognostic indicators.
