Heart Health Risk Assessment
RATE TODAY'S TIP
Track Your Resting Heart Rate
Post-menopausal women with a resting heart rate of 76 beats per minute or above are much more likely to have a heart attack than those with a resting heart rate of 62 beats per minute or lower, found researchers at George Washington University. A woman’s resting heart rate is theorized to be as an important an indicator as cholesterol or blood pressure. You can easily check yours at home with no equipment: In the morning before you get out of bed, find your pulse on your wrist or neck and count the beats for 60 seconds.
