Wearable smart technology devices are very trendy at the moment.
But, while these devices are being used to track sleep hours and steps, their most important function is being overlooked: your resting heart rate.
The American Journal of Cardiology showed that when resting heart rate is above 84, it proved to be a significant independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
