Fitness attenuates long-term cardiovascular outcomes in women with ischemic heart disease and metabolic syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome continues to increase steadily while fitness remains relatively low. The contribution of fitness on longer-term cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in individuals with cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome remains unknown.

Design

Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) prospective cohort (enrolled 1996-2001) of women undergoing invasive coronary angiography with signs/symptoms of ischemic heart disease.

Methods

Investigated the association of fitness, defined as >7METs measured by self-reported Duke Activity Status Index (DASI), and both metabolic syndrome (ATPIII criteria) and dysmetabolism (ATPIII criteria and/or treated diabetes) with long-term cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality risk.
