Does a high level of physical activity reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death in the general population?
Higher levels of physical activity are associated with a reduced risk of sudden cardiac death in the general population.
This meta-analysis suggest that a high compared to a low level of physical activity may reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death in the general population. Further studies are needed to clarify the dose-response relationship between specific subtypes and intensities of physical activity in relation to sudden cardiac death.
