Cardiovascular Mortality by Estimated Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Drs Javaid Nauman and Bjarne Nes from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway, discuss their article appearing in the February 2017 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, which reported on an algorithm created to predict cardiovascular mortality. They found that this estimated measure was accurate in determining risk of death based on low levels of estimated cardiorespiratory fitness and suggests this as an effective tool for clinicians in patient discussions on cardiovascular health and exercise.
