April 2026 in “European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing” The study discussed in the commentary investigated the relationship between stress and physical activity in 46 heart failure patients, using both subjective and objective stress measures. It found a strong positive correlation between hair cortisol concentration and physical activity in the diastolic heart failure subgroup, indicating that physical activity might act as a physiological stressor. However, no link was found between perceived stress and physical activity across all subgroups. The study's limitations include its small sample size, cross-sectional design, and reliance on self-reported physical activity, which may limit the generalizability of the results. Future research with larger samples and objective measures is suggested to further explore these relationships.
