Indians have an average resting heart rate of 80 beats per minute which is higher than the desired rate of 72, Indian Heart Study (IHS) has found.
The IHS also highlighted that unlike people of other countries, Indians have higher blood pressure in the evenings than in the mornings. The study was conducted on 18,918 participants, both men, and women, across 355 cities in 15 states over a period of nine months from April 2018.
It was carried out by 19 doctors to rethink the timing of prescribing anti-hypertension drug dosage.
“The study has provided us with insights on the prevalence of white-coat hypertension, masked hypertension, and resting heart rates pertinent to the Indian population,” said Prof Dr. Soumitra Kumar, co-ordinator for IHS.
