Researchers at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine suggest a new metric—daily heart rate per step (DHRPS)—for evaluating cardiovascular health. By dividing average heart rate by daily steps, DHRPS provides insights into heart efficiency. The study shows individuals with lower efficiency scores are at higher risk for diseases like Type II diabetes and heart failure. Experts express support for this metric as an advancement over traditional measures and stress its importance in understanding overall cardiovascular health, despite it not measuring heart rate during exercise.
The daily heart rate per step (DHRPS) provides critical insights into the efficiency of the heart's function and its correlation with various health diseases.
DHRPS highlights the heart's performance relative to daily activity, associating inefficiencies with increased risk of severe health issues like Type II diabetes and heart failure.
