“A little mathematics” could improve the health of your heart, suggests the study
Many people use a smartwatch to monitor their cardiovascular health, often counting the number of steps that adopt the course of the day or by registering their medium daily heart rate. Now, the researchers offer an improved metric, which combines the two using the basic mathematics: divide the medium daily cardiac frequency for the average daily number of steps.The resulting relationship - the daily cardiac frequency per phase, or DHRP - provides information on how efficient the heart works, according to a study conducted by researchers from the Feinberg School of Medicine of the Northwestern University and published today on the Journal of American Heart Association.The study discovered that the people whose hearts work in a less efficient way, with this metric, were more prone to variou...
