Heart failure risk reduced with higher levels of physical activity

Physical activity reduces heart failure risk, and the more exertion, the stronger the effect. These were the findings of a meta-analysis published online in Circulation and summarized in a recent article in Cardiology News. “Walking 30 minutes a day as recommended in the US physical activity guidelines may not be good enough,” according to Dr. Jarett D. Berry, senior author of the study.
