Exercise in the reduction of cardiovascular events. Lessons from epidemiologic trials.
In conclusion, much has been learned about the effects of exercise in reducing events in those with CHD. Some data are confusing, however, and some gaping holes exist in our understanding. Hopefully, new data forthcoming in the next 5 to 10 years will clear up this picture significantly. Meanwhile, cardiovascular exercise, coupled with other risk factor reduction, has been firmly established as a lifesaving and life-improving tool in those who have developed manifestations of CHD.
