A member asked:
Would a person with a high amount of arterial plaque be likely to have a faster than normal resting heart rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: not necessarily, a person with a " high amount of arterial plaque" has a higher chance to have a myocardial infarction ( heart attack), but heart rate can be either high or low, it can be low if this person has a heart block or high if he/she has atrial fibrillation or some type or arrhythmia
