Physical activity (PA) is associated with reduced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The study aims to analyze the cross-sectional association of arterial stiffness with objectively measured PA in patients following acute myocardial infarction.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n One hundred patients were consecutively recruited after experiencing an acute myocardial infarction. Central arterial stiffness was measured through carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) and daily PA was assessed objectively during 7 consecutive days with accelerometers. To be valid, data required recordings of at least 8 hr\/d on 5 d.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n The cf-PWV showed a negative and significant association with total weekly time spent in moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) (r<\/jats:italic> = \u22120.416, P<\/jats:italic> < .001). Patients classified as having higher risk according to arterial stiffness values (cf-PWV \u226510 m\/sec) showed significantly lower time spent in MVPA than those below that threshold. The cf-PWV was significantly lower in patients performing >300 min of MVPA\/wk than in those performing <150 min\/wk (8.53 \u00b1 2.08 vs 10.3 \u00b1 2.44 m\/sec, P<\/jats:italic> = .021). Differences remained significant after adjustment for several confounders.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n Moderate to vigorous PA was inversely associated with arterial stiffness and time spent in MVPA was lower in patients after acute myocardial infarction, with cf-PWV above the risk threshold value (\u226510 m\/sec). These results seem to reinforce the importance of PA as a nonpharmacological tool for secondary cardiovascular prevention.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/hcr.0000000000000406","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,26]],"date-time":"2019-03-26T20:33:01Z","timestamp":1553632381000},"page":"325-330","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Arterial Stiffness is Associated With Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity Levels in Post-Myocardial Infarction Patients"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"N\u00f3rton Lu\u00eds","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Alberto Jorge","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Maria-Arantzazu","family":"Ruescas-Nicolau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Gustavo","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Madalena","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"42","key":"R1-20230911","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2950","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehu299","article-title":"Cardiovascular disease in Europe 2014: epidemiological update","volume":"35","author":"Nichols","year":"2014","journal-title":"Eur Heart J"},{"issue":"2","key":"R3-20230911","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"139","DOI":"10.1007\/s11883-007-0010-y","article-title":"Arterial stiffness as a risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis","volume":"9","author":"Duprez","year":"2007","journal-title":"Curr Atheroscler Rep"},{"issue":"2","key":"R4-20230911","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"507","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atherosclerosis.2015.05.007","article-title":"The role of vascular biomarkers for primary and secondary prevention.
