Cardiorespiratory fitness, body mass index, and heart failure mortality in men: Cooper Center Longitudinal Study.
BACKGROUND We evaluated the individual and joint associations among cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), body mass index, and heart failure (HF) mortality, as well as the additive effect of an increasing number of cardiovascular risk factors on HF mortality in fit versus unfit men. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 44 674 men without a history of cardiovascular disease underwent a baseline examinati...
متن کاملCardiorespiratory Fitness and Reclassification of Risk for Incidence of Heart Failure
Recent advances in the treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) have led to marked improvements in survival among patients experiencing a cardiac event. However, while these advances in treatment have led to a decline in most CVDs, marked growth in the prevalence of heart failure (HF) has occurred over the last 3 decades. The growing prevalence of HF reflects a combination of increasing incide...
متن کاملCardiorespiratory Fitness and Reclassification of Risk for Incidence of Heart Failure: The Veterans Exercise Testing Study.
BACKGROUND It is well established that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is inversely associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. However, little is known regarding the association between CRF and incidence of heart failure (HF). METHODS AND RESULTS Between 1987 and 2014, we assessed CRF in 21 080 HF-free subjects (58.3±11 years) at the Veterans Affairs Medical Centers in Washington...
متن کاملUsing carvedilol to treat heart failure.
Despite current treatments, including use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, digoxin, and diuretics, morbidity and mortality remain alarmingly high. An estimated 50% of patients with severe signs and symptoms of heart failure will die within 1 year and 70% within 3 years. Additional pharmacological therapies to mitigate this disorder, such as β-blockers, continue to be investiga...

Cardiorespiratory Fitness: A Simple, Cheap and Nonpharmacological Means to Prevent Stroke? To the Editor: I would like to congratulate Hooker and colleagues1 for their recent retrospective analysis on 46 405 males and 15 282 females who underwent maximal exercise testing and follow-up estimates of metabolic equivalents and related mortality. The authors concluded that cardiorespiratory fitness ...
