-INTERHEART study showed that lack of exercise was accountable for 12% of the population-attributable risk of a first MI. Recent evidence shows that physical activity of even moderate degree can protect against coronary heart disease and all-cause mortality .The beneficial effects of physical exercise are decrease of triglyceride levels and blood pressure, elevation of HDL, enhancement of insulin sensitivity and production of NO by the endothelial cells, and weight loss. Although large scale randomized primary prevention trials are lacking, physical activity should be promoted to anyone with risk of developing atherosclerosis.<br />
