Sedentary Behavior and Cardiac Events and Mortality After Hospitalization for Acute Coronary Syndrome Symptoms: A Prospective Study
Sedentary behavior was associated with increased risk of 1-year cardiac events/mortality among patients evaluated for acute coronary syndrome. Replacing sedentary behavior with sleep, light-intensity physical activity, or moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with lower risk. These findings highlight reducing sedentary behavior as a potential strategy to improve posthospitalization outcomes.
