Is a slow heartbeat for a 46 year old woman with lupus likely to abnormal under 60 BPM ?
My doctor things my ECG readings mean my heart is beating " too slow", unfortunately I do not know how slow as I did not ask.
She is worried about an electrical abnormality.
Is this problem a part of lupus?
Hi Nicky11,
The average adult heart rate is around 70 beats per minute, but can range from 50-100 and be within normal. You may want to review the post below. I believe Dr. Shelby-Lane briefly touches on electrical adnormalities when it comes to heart rate.
