PRIORITY aims to generate the scientific evidence for the use of
remotely guided exercise therapy as an accessible, clinical and costeffective
treatment to prevent the deleterious effects of sedentary
aging on the heart and forestall progression towards heart failure (HF).
In Belgium, an epidemic of HF exists, with 200 000 HF patients and 40
new cases every day. Mortality approaches 50% within 5 yrs of
diagnosis. ...

Besides, research will be done to examine whether innovative tools like heat cameras can bring an additive value to detect claw lesions. We will also examine the use of different desinfectants to be used in claw baths.
