On a stress echo a year ago (a month after a stent was placed),
max HR was 176. Should I be concerned that my
max HR has apparently fallen 10 BPM in just one year?
Some background that may be relevant: Iām male, 62, 5ā6ā, 135 lb., strong family history of heart disease, never smoked, lifelong physically active, healthy diet. I have never had any heart disease symptoms, but a screening stress test in Jan. 2007 showed 3.7 mm ST depression.
