thebalanced.newsExperts Discuss Health Implications of Resting Heart Rate Range and Cardiovascular Risks
Experts highlight that the commonly accepted resting heart rate range of 60-100 beats per minute may be misleading. Neurologist Dr. Sudhir Kumar and longevity specialist Dr. Vassily Eliopoulos emphasize that even slight increases above 60 bpm can indicate higher cardiovascular stress and health risks. They advise focusing on factors like exercise, sleep, and stress management, as resting heart rate reflects overall cardiovascular efficiency, nervous system balance, and long-term health.
