Then, find a pulse point on your neck or wrist, count the beats for 10 seconds and multiply the number of beats by 6.
If you got between 50 and 60 beats per minute, “that’s a very good range,” says Gordon Blackburn, MD, head of cardiac rehabilitation at the Cleveland Clinic. For every 10 beats it goes up, your risk of coronary artery disea...
