more immediately obvious of these is heart rate. Heart rate combines with such factors of cardiovascular performance as stroke volume, blood pressure, and cardiac output to heavily influence both
our short and long-term physiology. There has been a renewed focus on the importance of heart rate in particular in regard to our overall health. There have even
been recent improvements in regard to the way that medicine can be used to control overly fast heart rates. In a recent article in General Physician titled "Slowing down
heart rate cuts MI risk", for example, the merits of the heart rate inhibitor ivabradine have been investigated (GP, 2008). The claim is presented, in fact, that the use
of this drug can lessen the risks of heart attacks among patients with stable coronary artery disease by an amazing thirty-six percent (GP, 2008)!
The literature more than supports the contention that heart rate is linked with our overall health. Chemist & Druggist (2007) equates the importance of heart rate right alongside
that of smoking, cholesterol concentrations, and hypertension in terms of increasing cardiovascular disease and even mortality. Resting heart rates that exceed 90bpm are of particular concern and associated with
the worst outcomes but even resting heart rates exceeding 60bpm are reason for worry (Chemist & Druggist, 2007). Bunker (2008) reports that a
long-term study involving 15,000 subjects has revealed a correlation between a higher than normal resting heart rate and the ultimate onset of diabetes and even diabetes-related deaths. These subjects
were initially assessed in 1967 and 1973 then again some thirty-five years later. The researchers found that for every extra twelve beats per minute heart rate subjects likelihood of
