Why the study?
Does physical activity reduce coronary artery disease mortality and nonfatal CAD incidence compared to inactivity?
Does physical activity reduce coronary artery disease mortality and nonfatal CAD incidence compared to inactivity?
Physical activity, regardless of intensity, is associated with reduced CAD mortality and nonfatal CAD, and is beneficial for managing various cardiovascular risk factors and conditions.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support activity counseling to lower CAD risk; leaves open causality and dosing from RCTs.
In brief Active people have significantly lower coronary artery disease (CAD) mortality rates than do inactive individuals, and physical activity reduces the incidence of nonfatal CAD. These benefits are found in low- and high-intensity exercisers. Exercise also plays an important role in the treatment of hypertension, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure.
