Heart rate may help predict cardiac death

"Faster heart rates from mild mental stress before exercise doubles the risk of sudden cardiac death in later life, researchers in France warn. The study, published in the European Heart Journal, found that men whose heart rate increased the most during mild mental stress just before an exercise test had twice the risk of dying of a sudden heart attack in later life than men whose heart rate did not increase as much." - UPI
