Question 1

how can i calculate target heart rate?

Accepted Answer

See below: 220 (-)your age - is the 100%
usual cardio work out range is 70 - 80% of this number.

Question 2

tell me how do you calculate target heart rate?

Accepted Answer

See Below: A common formula for calculating target heart rate is 220 minus age x 0.85.

Question 3

can you tell me what you suggest if the resting heart rate is 72, calculate this persons target heart rate and vo2 at 60% of maximum?

Accepted Answer

90- 153: Remember it is just a target heart rate to get to during exercise,  and not a number to get fixated to as you can see this is quite a wide range maximum heart rate in 40 year old is 180  . The benefit you get from exercise is not so specific at particular rate so do not worry to much about the rate just keep regular exercise schedule and follow it good luck.

Question 4

what does equivocal cardiac stress test mean in the results? i am a 47 year old male with hypertension  controlled through medication. i completed the test reaching the target heart rate with no other symptoms. test was part of an annual insurance check u

Accepted Answer

Stress test: Equivocal changes imply that Ekg on test show changes which were suggestive of positive but may have not met criteria completely. Using echocardiogram during stress or nick injection can be helpful to improve accuracy.nth God standard is still cardiac Cath

Question 5

how could a high heart rate influence coronary artery perfusion and myocardial oxygen delivery?

Accepted Answer

Decrease: In coronary perfusion pressure due to shortened diastole. Oxygen demand is increased but perfusion may not keep up if there is narrowing of coronary artery

Question 6

coronary artery calcification with fast heart rate...cant do activity without stop catching breath..take adalat (nifedipine) without good results...help?

Accepted Answer

Cardiologist: You need to consult with a cardiologist for testing.  In the meantime I would not engage in vigorous sporting activities.  If you feel like you are almost passing out, have chest pain / pressure or a heart rate over 115 you should go to the ER to have it checked immediately.

Question 7

do angiotensin receptor blockers lower heart rate? ever since i started valsartan i notice that my hr is lower by 3-5 beats when at rest. not sure if that's because it dilates the coronary artery or just by chance due to exercise and weight loss?

Accepted Answer

: In general, ARBs are neutral in heart rate but in rare cases, either bradycardia or tachycardia does occur as side effect. In your case, the change of 3-5 beats lower is more likely due to exercise than Valsartan' s effect.

Question 8

what to do if i want to know what happens when you exercise over your target heart rate zone?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: When people ask me about what their target hr should be when working out, i tell them that the workout intensity is more important than heart rate. So if you feel like you are overdoing it, are exhausted and feeling sick after your workout, and your hr was less than target, it was too much. Decrease intensity. If hr is higher than target, and you feel ok afterwards, that's ok, no problem.

Question 9

is taking beta blockers going to effect my target heart rate and exercise?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: It will be harder to get your heart rate up.

Question 10

what do i do once i reach my target heart rate when running?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: We generally recommend aerobic exercise to target rate for at least 20 min. Of a 30min. Exercise session.  If progression is desired increases in intensity or duration of exercise at two week intervals(small ~10%) are next.
