Here, we aimed to evaluate the role of self-reported physical activity as an independent risk factor of post-discharge mortality and re-hospitalization in patients hospitalized for HF, as well as study the association between physical activity and 92 plasma proteins associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD).<h4>Methods</h4>Four-hundred-and-thirty-four patients hospitalized for HF (mean age 75 years; 32% women) were screened for physical activity derived from questionnaires in the Swedish national public health survey. The median follow-up time to death and re-hospitalization was 835 (interquartile range, 390-1,432) and 157 (43-583) days, respectiveFrontiers in cardiovascular medicine843029https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8899472biostudies-literaturePhysical Inactivity Is Associated With Post-discharge Mortality and Re-hospitalization Risk Among Swedish Heart Failure Patients-The HARVEST-Malmo Study.PMC8899472Magnusson MZaghi AJujic AMolvin JDieden AHolm HKorduner JBachus EfalsePhysical Inactivity Is Associated With Post-discharge Mortality and Re-hospitalization Risk Among Swedish Heart Failure Patients-The HARVEST-Malmo Study.<h4>Background</h4>Several studies have examined the role of physical activity as a predictor of heart failure (HF) mortality and morbidity.
