The period of what constitutes post exercise was not really defined in the article. I assume that it means in the minutes after exercising when your heart rate is slowing down close to its pre exercise rate. I don't want this to be the point that you focus on though because even if you have it, it is not a reversible risk factor.
As an example, my grandfather and uncle have coronary artery disease. This is not a high risk factor but suggests that I am at risk for coronary disease. I don't focus on the risk, I focus on preventable factors like diet, exercise, appropriate rest, no smoking, etc.
