Abstract

Background: Little is known about changes in physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) patterns in the acute phase of a myocardial infarction (MI). We objectively assessed PA and SB during hospitalization and the first week after discharge.
Methods and Results: Consecutively admitted patients hospitalized with an MI were approached to participate in this pro-spective cohort study. SB, light-intensity PA, and moderate-vigorous intensity PA were objectively assessed for 24 h/d during hospitalization and up to 7 days after discharge in 165 patients. Changes in PA and SB from the hospital to home phase were evaluated using mixed-model analyses, and outcomes were stratified for predefined subgroups based on patient character-istics. Patients (78% men) were aged 65±10 years and diagnosed with ST-segment– elevation MI (50%) or non– ST-segment– elevation MI (50%). Sedentary time was high during hospitalization (12.6 [95% CI, 11.8–13.7] h/d) but substantially decreased following transition to the home environment (−1.8 [95% CI, −2.4 to −1.3] h/d). Furthermore, the number of prolonged sedentary bouts (≥60 minutes) decreased between hospital and home (−1.6 [95% CI, −2.0 to −1.2] bouts/day). Light-intensity PA (1.1 [95% CI, 0.8–1.6] h/d) and moderate-vigorous intensity PA (0.2 [95% CI, 0.1– 0.3] h/d) were low during hospitalization but significantly increased following transition to the home environment (light-intensity PA: 1.8 [95% CI, 1.4– 2.3] h/d; moderate-vigorous intensity PA: 0.4 [95% CI, 0.3– 0.5] h/d; both P<0.001). Improvements in PA and SB were similar across groups, except for patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and who did not improve their PA patterns after discharge. Conclusions: Patients with MI demonstrate high levels of SB and low PA volumes during hospitalization, which immediately improved following discharge at the patient’s home environment.
