“…In a small Japanese study of 80 male myocardial infarction survivors who had been treated in a hospital coronary care unit but not educated about their lifestyle, higher daily physical activity was associated with a significantly lower risk of cardiac death. 23 In a study of 782 Harvard alumni 35 to 74 years of age with reported history of CHD, those who exercised Ͻ2000 kcal/wk were at greater risk of CHD death than those more active. 24 …”

Background-We have studied the relations between physical activity, types of physical activity, and changes in physical activity and all-cause mortality in men with established coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods and Results-In 1992, 12 to 14 years after the initial screening (Q1) of 7735 men 40 to 59 years of age from general practices in 24 British towns, 5934 (91% of available survivors, mean age 63 years) provided further information on physical activity (Q92) and were followed up for 5 years; 963 had a physician's diagnosis of CHD (myocardial infarction or angina). all-cause mortality. Regular walking and moderate or heavy gardening were sufficient to achieve this benefit.

“…In a small Japanese study of 80 male myocardial infarction survivors who had been treated in a hospital coronary care unit but not educated about their lifestyle, subsequent higher daily physical activity was associated with a significantly lower risk of cardiac death. 36 In a study of 782 Harvard alumni aged 35-74 years with reported history of CHD, relative risks of death from CHD were related to measures of physical activity including ascending stairs, walking and playing sports. Those who exercised less than 2000 kcal/week were at greater risk of CHD death than those who were more active.…”

This review, based on prospective epidemiological studies, indicates the existence of a dose-response relationship between physical activity and coronary heart disease (CHD), which is linear at least up to a certain level of activity. Leisure time physical activity is associated with about a 30-50% reduction in risk of CHD. The benefit of leisure-time physical activity is seen in both men and women, in middle-aged and older subjects and in men with established CHD. Several mechanisms, which could contribute to the protective effect of physical activity on CHD have been identified. Prospective studies suggest that physical activity is also associated with reduced risk of stroke. Overall, the evidence points to the benefit of continued regular moderate physical activity which does not need to be vigorous or sporting, and includes activities such as walking or gardening, readily attainable by large sections of the population. Current evidence supports the recommended guidelines of 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most days of the week in both primary and secondary prevention of CHD.

“…13- 16 In a small Japanese study of 80 men, higher physical activity was associated with a lower risk of cardiac death among MI survivors. 15 This study used a small sample size to determine the effects of physical activity on CVD survivors. In the Stockholm Female Coronary Risk Study with 230 participants, sedentary lifestyle increased the CVD mortality (vs. non-sedentary lifestyle was 3.15, 95%CI 1.13-8.74) among patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome.…”

“…9-12 However, only a few population-based studies have examined the association between physical activity and CVD risk among CVD survivors. Some of these studies involved only men 13 or women, 14 small sample sizes, 15 or were inconsistent with dose -response relationships. 16, 17 Determining the relationship between physical activity and CVD risk among CVD survivors in a population-based study is important evidence that will contribute to the prescribing of suitable physical activity among CVD survivors.…”

Background: Although many population-based studies have reported an association between physical activity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) among healthy populations, the association among CVD survivors has been less reported. We examined the relationship between physical activity and CVD risk among survivors. Methods and Results:This was a prospective cohort study of 12,490 Japanese participants, including 754 individual CVD survivors. Between April 1992 and July 1995, a baseline survey was conducted in 12 communities in Japan. The mean follow-up period was 11.9 years, during which time 74 individuals had non-fatal CVD and 51 cases were fatal CVD. Among CVD survivors, analysis was performed after exclusion of participants with a history of cancer and those who died within the first 2 years of follow-up. Physical activity was analyzed in tertiles (low, moderate and heavy), and the hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated for non-fatal or fatal CVD among CVD survivors. After setting the low group as the reference, the HRs for non-fatal CVD in the moderate and heavy groups were 0.61 (95% confidence interval: 0.30-1.24) and 0.50 (0.20-1.25) (P for trend = 0.059), respectively, and the HRs for fatal CVD were 0.75 (0.33-1.69) and 0.18 (0.04-0.83) (P for trend = 0.026), respectively. Conclusions:Physical activity reduced the risk of CVD, both fatal and non-fatal events, among CVD survivors. (Circ J 2011; 75: 1368 - 1372
