Health : Towards Better Health - Pulse rate clue to heart attacks!

Pulse rate clue to heart attacks

 

A latest research has indicated that by simply measuring a woman's resting pulse rate, one can predict how likely she is to suffer a heart attack. The study was done on postmenopausal women who had no history of heart problems. They found that those with the highest heart rates were significantly more likely to suffer a heart attack than the women with the lowest rates.

Women with the fastest resting heart rates of more than 76 beats per minute were 1.6 times as likely to suffer a coronary event compared with those with the lowest resting heart rates below 62 beats per minute.
