Does long-term physical activity about three times the guidelines or more affect coronary artery calcium progression and cardiovascular disease events?
High levels of long-term physical activity are associated with coronary artery calcium progression but do not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease events.
Long-term PA about three times the guidelines or more is independently associated with CAC progression; however, no additional risk of incident CVD events could be detected.
Gao et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
