Key result
Sufficient physical activity linked to ~47% lower mortality vs. inactivity in heart failure.
Why the study?
Limited data are available examining the effects of both moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity and sedentary behavior on longevity among patients with heart failure.
Do moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity and sedentary behavior affect all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure?
Population
711 adults with self-reported congestive heart failure from NHANES 2007-2014
Comparison
Three MVPA groups (No-MVPA, insufficient, sufficient) and two SB groups (<8 and ≥8 hrs/d)
Design
Cohort study using nationally representative survey data
Follow-up
Average 4.9 years

May support MVPA counseling in HF; cohort data leaves open causality and RCTs before practice change.
Cohort (n=711)
Do moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity and sedentary behavior affect all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure?
Hazard Ratio: 0.53 (95% CI 0.31–0.89)
p-value: p=<0.001
In patients with heart failure, engaging in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and reducing sedentary time are independently and jointly associated with lower all-cause mortality.
Kim et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Heart failure (n=711). Sufficient moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity (S-MVPA; ≥150 min/wk) vs. No moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity (No-MVPA) was evaluated on All-cause mortality (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.31-0.89, p=<0.001). Sufficient moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity (≥150 min/wk) was independently associated with a 47% lower risk of all-cause mortality compared to no physical activity in patients with heart failure.
