Why must a deconditioned heart beat faster at rest?
November 22, 2009 by mbluestone94
A deconditioned heart must beat faster because the body demands a plethora of nutrients including oxygen. These nutrients are transported in the blood. If the stroke volume is low the heart must beat faster to deliver the nutrients demanded by the body.
We plan on lowering your resting heart rate because in the process it will begin producing oxygen-rich blood. Think of it like this, you are currently running your body on a lower quality of blood, kind of like running your Mercedes on regular fuel when it is recommended you use premium. Whats the outcome of this? Expensive mechanical problems and a shorter life expectancy for your Mercedes. What’s the outcome of an inefficient heart? Medical problems and a shorter life expectancy.
Please post the ranges for a good resting heart rate. Thanks.
