What is Resting Heart Rate (RHR)?
Resting Heart Rate (RHR) is the number of times your heart beats per minute (BPM) while you are at complete rest. It is a vital sign that reflects your heart muscle's efficiency and your cardiovascular system's health. A lower RHR generally implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness.
