A member asked:
I have a low heart rate but i'm overweight? a low heart rate is better than a high heart rate right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: It depends on how low the heart rate is and whether the heart rhythm is normal or abnormal. A high resting heart rate is more indicative of heart disease or other types of medical problems than a low resting heart rate so long as the low heart rate is not too low.
