Researchers from France have found that higher heart rate before exercise is a strong predictor of the risk of sudden death from heart attack later in life. Professor Xavier Jouven, of the Hopital Européen Georges Pompidou (Paris, France), and colleagues found that merely taking a pulse before an exercise stress test is an inexpensive way to predict risk of sudden cardiac death. Men whose pre-exercise heart rate increased in response to mental stress had double the risk of sudden death.
