The data suggest that overweight may be instrumental in bringing out symptoms of angina pectoris or in precipitating sudden death by imposing an increased workload on a heart with an already compromised coronary circulation.

273 Citations1957RICHARD W. ECKSTEIN
The data indicate that moderate and severe arterial narrowing results in extensive collateral development proportional to the degree of narrowing, further that exercise leads to even greater anastomoses, and that the addition of exercise promotes an effective collateral circulation.

It seems unlikely that the several possible artificial factors mentioned, including the “selection” factor, could have accounted for more than a small part of the great excess risk noted in the young widowed for several leading causes of death.

Among salaried employees, the risk of infarction appeared to be inversely related to job level, and the immediate prognosis was not affected by overweight or physical activity at the time of the attack, but was more favorable when the attack occurred at work.

It is concluded that differences in CHD and serum cholesterol observed between the various racial, social class, and occupational groups of males appear explainable by differences in physical activity.

It is believed that the evidence that increased physical activity might be beneficial is sufficient to justify further extensive studies and the proof of the preventive therapeutic value of activity programs must come from observations of significant numbers of the population at risk.
