E09: Physical Activity vs. Sedentary Behavior – Two Sides of the Atherosclerosis Risk Coin - Meral Kayıkçıoğlu

Recorded during the 11th Panhellenic Congress of the Hellenic Atherosclerosis Society in Athens, this episode of AtheroVoice welcomes Professor Meral Kayıkçıoğlu, Professor of Cardiology and Director of the Lipid and Prevention Clinic at Ege University, Faculty of Medicine, İzmir, Turkey.

Together, we discuss “Physical Activity vs. Sedentary Behavior: Two Sides of the Atherosclerosis Risk Coin”, exploring how regular physical activity protects against atherosclerosis, what type and intensity of exercise matter most, and why reducing sedentary leisure time is equally important for cardiovascular prevention.

A practical and insightful conversation on how we can help patients — and society — move more, sit less, and reduce cardiovascular risk.
