A member asked:
My 52yr old husband is very active and athletic. he recently ran a half marathon. however, his heart rate recovery time is slow. is this of concern?

Maybe ok: If he undergoes a maximal or symptom limited treadmill stress test successfully, i wouldn't be concerned about his recovery time after exercise. I also assume that he has no symptoms during or after vigorous exercise.
