Normal heart rate after aortic valve replacement
Hi, and thank you for your question. First off, I would recommend speaking with your doctor about what your heart rate should be with your specific condition, but please find below general information on heart rate that might be helpful to you.
There are different formulae to estimate the expected peak heart rate for your age. As a general guideline some people use a heart rate of 220 minus your age (assuming that you are not on drugs which limit your heart rate response such as beta blocking drugs, if you are, ask your physician to give you a more appropriate target rate). When starting an exercise program, aim for a target of 50%. Your goal is to be able to stay in the 65 to 75% of maximum heart rate range for 30 minutes per day, 4 or 5 days per week. The following chart may be helpful.
Age Target HR Zone 50-75 % Maximum Heart Rate 20 years 100-150 beats per minute 200 beats per minute 25 years 98-146 beats per minute 195 beats per minute 30 years 95-142 beats per minute 190 beats per minute 35 years 93-138 beats per minute 185 beats per minute 40 years 90-135 beats per minute 180 beats per minute 45 years 88-131 beats per minute 175 beats per minute 50 years 85-127 beats per minute 170 beats per minute 55 years 83-123 beats per minute 165 beats per minute 60 years 80-120 beats per minute 160 beats per minute 65 years 78-116 beats per minute 155 beats per minute 70 years 75-113 beats per minute 150 beats per minute
