What does a 25bpm indicate in an 89 year old women?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That's obviously abnormal. Commonly such a rate is due to heart block where the messages for the heart to contract do not reach the ventricles, but sometimes it's sinus node (the native "pacemaker" in a person's heart) dysfunction. In either case, unless the underlying cause can be reversed, a pacemaker would be indicated.

Also the rate could be due to an erroneous measurement, especially when it's obtained by checking the pulse. With bigeminy, for example, where every other heart beat is a premature ventricular contraction, often only every other heart beat is felt in the pulse (so the real HR is twice what is measured).

Where is the most common location for plaque development?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Plaque in your arteries is very bad - it can contribute to clots, which in turn can cause heart attacks, loss of blood flow to muscles, or other health conditions. There is not one place in the body where this type of plaque is most common. Any plaque in the arteries, no matter where it is, can cause problems. Plaque closer to the heart can cause more fatal problems than, say, plaque in the legs.
