The target heart rate (THR)zone range for a patient 50 years old would be

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the target heart rate zone range:
1.Subtract the patient's age in years from 220 to calculate the maximum heart rate.
2.The low end of the patient's THR zone is 50% of the value obtained in step 1.The high end of the patient's THR zone is 85% of the value obtained in step 1.
So,a 50-year-old's THR zone would be calculated as follows:
(220 - 50)× 0.50 = 85 (low end)
(220 - 50)× 0.85 = 145 (high end)
Thus,the patient's THR zone range would be 85-145 beats per minute.
