Predicters of physical activity at 3-month after discharge in patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention -A multicenter prospective cohort study

Abstract Background Long-term prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly non-target region stenosis, has not been well improved. Therefore, lifestyle modification should be considered along with medication to prevent the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. Particularly, the promotion of physical activity (PA) is recommended as a core intervention for secondary prevention because of its direct effects on coronary risk factors. However, the factors related to PA after PCI have not been fully investigated. Purpose To explore predictors of PA after discharge in patients underwent PCI. Methods We conducted a multicenter prospective cohort study. Participants were patients aged
