The Physical Activity Post Myocardial Infarction SWEDEHEART Prospective Cohort Study

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Accelerometer measurement: Study personnel will initiate an accelerometer and inform the patient to wear the accelerometer with an elastic belt on their right hip during waking hours for seven consecutive days. Moreover, patients are instructed to register their wear time in an activity diary in paper form. In addition, patients will register their working hours, if relevant. After seven days, patients send back the accelerometer and diary in a pre-paid envelope. The same procedure is repeated at the second follow-up visit at 1 year.

Study summary

The association between objectively measured physical activity intensities (light, moderate and vigorous), sedentary time and clinical outcomes has not been clarified in patients after a myocardial infarction.

The overall objective of the study is to explore associations between accelerometer measured physical activity and clinical outcomes after a myocardial infarction. Moreover, the association between changes in physical activity and outcomes will be assessed.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) — 1 year after the index cardiac event
  The composite incidence of cardiovascular mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal ischemic stroke, coronary revascularization, hospitalization for new or worsening heart failure
