Leposykkeen

Leposykkeen, also known as resting heart rate, refers to the number of times your heart beats per minute when you are at complete rest, both physically and mentally. It is typically measured in the morning before getting out of bed or after a period of quiet relaxation. A normal resting heart rate for adults generally falls between 60 and 100 beats per minute, though this can vary based on factors such as age, fitness level, medications, and overall health.

Lower resting heart rates are often associated with better cardiovascular fitness. For example, athletes often have resting heart rates significantly lower than 60 bpm due to the efficiency of their heart muscle. Conversely, a persistently high resting heart rate may indicate an underlying health issue, such as thyroid problems, anemia, or stress. It is important to note that occasional fluctuations in resting heart rate are normal. However, if you notice a significant or consistent change in your resting heart rate, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended to rule out any potential medical concerns and to understand what your specific leposykkeen indicates for your health.
