Cardiovascular Disease Linked to High Resting Heart Rate
By Nursing-Times.Net
A woman's chance of dying from a heart attack increases by 18% for each 10 beat per minutes rise in her resting heart rate up to the age of 70, a study suggests.
Regular exercise can minimize the impact of a higher resting heart rate, said the study published online ahead of print in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
The higher the resting heart rate, the higher the risk of a cardiovascular disease death, especially from heart attacks and angina.
