The Physical Activity Post Myocardial Infarction SWEDEHEART Prospective Cohort Study
The Physical Activity Post Myocardial Infarction SWEDEHEART Prospective Cohort Study (ACTIVITY-SWEDEHEART)
About This Trial
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.

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.
