OC01_01 Increased Mortality and Shortened Life Span of Heart Rate at 80-99 Beats/Min: Assessing the Benefits of Physical Activity From a Prospective Cohort of 515,303 Individuals

Resting heart rate (HR), an independent risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD), has not been universally recognized as an important CVD risk factor in healthy subjects. Heart rate at 80-99 beats/min has been implicated with increased CVD risk but no guideline exists as to how this risk can be modified.
