A member asked:

70 year old with usual interstitial pneumonia, is a resting heart rate in 44 to 47 an area of concern?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abnormal: That is an abnormally slow heart rate for someone in that age group and requires investigation. There may be a cardiac conduction or basic rhythm disturbance which an EKG would reveal. Discuss this with your physician.
