Summary:
- This article discusses a study that found people who sit for long periods of time after a cardiac event, such as a heart attack or heart surgery, have a higher risk of experiencing another cardiac event.
- The study showed that people who sat for more than 8 hours a day had a 27% higher risk of having another cardiac event compared to those who sat for less than 4 hours a day.
- The researchers recommend that people who have had a cardiac event should try to reduce the amount of time they spend sitting and instead engage in more physical activity to improve their heart health and reduce the risk of another event.
