Inactive men at risk for heart failure

More than 5 million Americans are living with heart failure. But this study showed that men can cut their risk dramatically, by having a normal body weight and getting regular exercise.

Overweight men had a high risk for heart failure, but the risk went even higher for men who were overweight and were inactive.

The good news? Even moderate exercise can help cut the risk of heart failure by 20 percent.
