Docs, what's a normal resting heart rate for a 70 year old lady?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

50-90: 50-90. (90-100 is normal but a bit high). Any medication she takes may modify her heart rate and that's a factor too. HR during sleep is normally much slower at times, even into the 30s transiently .
