Heart Rate and Blood Pressure restrictions with an AAA 4.1cm

Posted by dcopeland @dcopeland, Feb 27 11:55am

My BP is usually 115/75 and heart rate 60 bpm. When i walk at a brisk pace BP still good 125/80 but heart rate exceeds 80 bpm. My Doc says anything under 100bpm should be fine, however, other articles i've read say 80 max??

I think it would be extremely helpful for Mayo to publish some guidelines on how to think about this topic (dilation and exercise). My doctor put no restrictions on me at 4.3 CM ascending aorta. I've seen so many other recomendations. Is it because my heart performed well in a stress test? or is it just different points of view from different doctors given the ambiguities involved... I just finished a workout witth my heart rate at 120+ for 30 minutes. I feel really good after a workout like that- but am I risking my life? Prior to my diagnosis in December I would always end my workout by getting my heart rate up to 150 -160. I'd like to go back to that (which my doctor is ok with) But it would be really comforting to get a wider perspective on this issue from the collective group of experts. . This is such an important topic for those of us who exercise regularly !!!!!!!!
