Fitness and dementia risk: Further evidence of the heart-brain connection.
Nicole L. Spartano,Tiia Ngandu +1 more
TL;DR: A potential opportunity to prevent dementia through management and treatment of CVD and its risk factors with both pharmaceutical options and lifestyle interventions that improve cardiovascular health is revealed.

Sex differences in noninvasive estimates of left ventricular pressure energetics but not myocardial oxygen demand in young adults
William E. Hughes,Nicole L. Spartano,Wesley K. Lefferts,Jaqueline A. Augustine,Kevin S. Heffernan +4 more
TL;DR: Women had higher pressure from wave reflections which was associated with greater LV pressure effort compared to men, and proxies of myocardial perfusion and work were not affected.

Prestroke physical activity to reduce stroke severity: Moving to lower risk with light activity
TL;DR: Experimental research in animal models supports the value of exercise before and after stroke as a modifier of poststroke outcome and suggests that even among individuals who have stroke, those who led a physically active lifestyle tended to have less severe strokes.

Abstract 19256: Predicting Exercise Systolic Blood Pressure and Heart Rate at 20 Years of Follow-up: Correlates in the Framingham Heart Study
TL;DR: It is suggested that maintaining an optimal risk factor profile over the lifecourse will favorably impact exercise hemodynamic responses over time.

Accelerometer-determined physical activity and the cardiovascular response to mental stress in children
TL;DR: A modest, inverse relation of PA to vascular reactivity to mental stress was observed in children, providing confirmatory evidence that the promotion of PA recommendations for children are important for cardiovascular health.
