Key result
Any physical activity and long-term exercise are linked to lower CVD, HF, and mortality.
Why the study?
Although the cardiovascular benefits of exercise are confirmed, the trajectories of different physical activity modes are not well recognized.
Does physical activity and its long-term trajectories reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease and mortality?
Does physical activity and its long-term trajectories reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease and mortality?
This review reinforces that regular physical activity and maintaining or resuming exercise trajectories significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support exercise counseling in prevention; leaves open causality and optimal trajectories pending prospective trials.
INTRODUCTION: Prolonged sedentary life existence is associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease (CHD), obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, heart failure (HF), and all-cause mortality. On the contrary, regular exercise is known from antiquity to be associated with beneficial cardiovascular (CV) effects and decreased mortality. AREAS COVERED: The cardiovascular (CV) benefits of exercise have been confirmed by many studies, but the trajectories of the different modes of PA are not well recognized. In order to examine the different modalities of exercise and its long-term trajectories, a Medline search of the English literature was conducted between 2015 and 2022 and 60 pertinent papers were selected for review. EXPERT OPINION: Careful review of the selected papers showed that the beneficial CV effects of PA are mediated through several favorable modifications of molecular and clinical factors. Also, any type of physical activity in conjunction with lifestyle adjustments is associated with decreased incidence of CVD, CHD, obesity, T2DM, hypertension, HF, and all-cause mortality. In addition, the long-term trajectories regarding the duration and the level of exercise are associated with greater beneficial CV effects, with even the resumption of discontinued exercise can lead to beneficial CV effects.

Chrysant et al. (2023) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Physical activity vs. Sedentary lifestyle was evaluated on Incidence of cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart failure, and all-cause mortality. Any type of physical activity and long-term exercise trajectories are associated with decreased incidence of cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and all-cause mortality.
