The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Saturday released its latest report on cardiology risk factors and advised patients with heart problems to increase their levels of activity.
According to a statement issued by the ESC, the large study reveals that in people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes the risk of heart disease increases.
However, the study found that increasing activity levels is associated with a reduced likelihood of heart events and death.
Author of the study, Dr Esmee Bakker, of Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, the Netherlands said: “Previous research showed that improvements in physical activity are beneficial to health. However, those studies were performed in the general population. In our study, we were interested to see if there were similar effects in individuals with cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.”

Recology Makes Case for Rate Increase at Town-Hall; Meeting Drew One Comment
Though most Recology Del Norte customers could see their rates increase by about 5 percent in July, a town hall meeting allowing them to protest the potential change Tuesday drew a single comment.
Stringent regulations and changes in the recycling market, both locally and globally, are forcing Recology Del Norte to change its rates, according to General Manager Jeremy Herber.
But Donna Westfall, former Crescent City councilwoman and president of the Del Norte Taxpayers Association, said wages should be frozen and salaries cut before rate increases are approved. She didn’t specify if those wage freezes and cuts should apply to Recology employees or staff at the Del Norte Solid Waste Management Authority.
