A new study led at Broad by Ezimamaka Ajufo, Patrick Ellinor, and Shaan Khurshid tries to answer the question of how exercise impacts people who are genetically at risk of cardiomyopathy but have no symptoms (dubbed “G+P- carriers”). Using genetic, fitness tracking, and cardiac MRI data from ~88,700 middle-age and older adult UK Biobank participants, the team found that the more moderate to vigorous exercise G+P- carriers got each week, the lower their likelihood of atrial fibrillation, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke. More exercise was tied to lower risk of cardiomyopathy as well. Learn more in JAMA Cardiology. 🔗: https://lnkd.in/eB-Bvgnj #BroadInstitute #Science #ScienceNews #Research #ScientificResearch
