Decreased heart rate recovery up to 5 minutes post-exercise is an independent predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in diabetic men.
Abstract
Among men with diabetes, a decreased HRR, even measured as long as 5 min after recovery, was independently predictive of cardiovascular and all-cause death.
