Did you know that pulse indicates not only womens heart attack risks, but for men as well?
According to a brief blurb in the October 2009 issue of “Bottom Line Personals”, Dr. Judith Hsia, senior director of clincial research states this:
“Postmenopausal women with a resting heart rate of more than 76 beats per minute are 26% more likely to suffer a a heart attack in the next 7 years compared with women whose resting heart rates are 60 beats or fewer per minute. A similar associate between heart rate and heart attack risk has been shown in men.
To determine resing heart rate: before drinking coffee in the morning, sit quietly for 5 minutes. Hold your finger on your wrist, and count your pulse for 30 seconds. Double the number to get your resting heart rate. If it is more than 76 beats per mintue, talk with your doctor.”
Dr. Judith Hsia is with AstraZeneca LP out of Wilmington, DE and is a leader of a study of 129,135 postmenopausal women. Her finding are published in the British Medical Journal.
So ladies, watch your pulse and if you are risk, take the necessary precautions and preventative measure to keep a healthy heart.
