High Fitness Reduces Heart Disease

Can high fitness reduce the risk of heart disease in hypertensive patients? What a new study means

Yes, high fitness can reduce the risk of heart disease in hypertensive patients. A new study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology in 2021 confirms this.

The study followed over 500 hypertensive patients for an average of 15 years and found that those who were more physically fit had a lower risk of developing heart disease compared to those who were less fit. Specifically, the study found that for every 1 metabolic equivalent (MET) increase in fitness, there was a 7% reduction in the risk of heart disease.

These findings are important because they suggest that physical fitness can be an effective way to prevent heart disease in hypertensive patients, even if they already have high blood pressure. Moreover, the study highlights the importance of regular exercise and physical activity in promoting heart health.

It is worth noting that this study is consistent with previous research that has also shown a strong relationship between physical fitness and reduced risk of heart disease in hypertensive patients.

Green, General Manager of the Municipal Railway promoting Muni’s “Fast Pass”. Mr. Green was a barrier-breaking figure in his own right, by becoming the first African American appointed to Muni's top position from his beginnings with the Agency as a bus operator. With his 1974 appointment, Green also became the first African American to ...

By The Numbers: The SFMTA’s COVID-19 Response

By The Numbers: The SFMTA’s COVID-19 Response By Erica Kato The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about unforeseen c hanges to San Francisco’s transportation network. And the impact of the crisis will continue to be felt city-wide long beyond the end of the public health emergency. On March 13, 2020, when it became clear that San Francisco needed immediate adjustments to the transportation system, Director of Transportation Jeff Tumlin launched SFMTA’s Department Operations Center (DOC) team. Since then, the DOC has served as a centralized hub to ensure that we are minimizing health risks to employees and the public as we keep transportation running, both by coordinating internally within the agency and by collaborating closely with our city, state, and federal partners to deploy resources and information in the most effective way possible.
