Key result
Physical inactivity is linked to ~138% higher risk of major post-MI events over 3 years.
Why the study?
Patients who have survived myocardial infarction have an increased risk of reinfarction, myocardial revascularization, and death, but prognostic factors for these adverse events require investigation.
Cohort (n=118)
Hazard Ratio: 2.38
p-value: p=0.007
Physical inactivity, age, gender, and changes in risk factors and triglycerides are significant predictors of adverse coronary events in patients who have survived a myocardial infarction.

Stamenković et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Myocardial infarction (n=118). Physical inactivity was evaluated on Reinfarction, myocardial revascularization, and death (HR 2.38, p=0.007). Physical inactivity (HR 2.38, p=0.007), age, and the number of variable risk factors significantly increased the risk of reinfarction, revascularization, and death in MI survivors over 3 years.
