What change in heart rate is considered acceptable for angina patients during warm-up?

For angina patients, a change in heart rate of 10-15 beats per minute during warm-up is considered acceptable. This increment is moderate and allows the body to adjust gradually to increased physical activity without placing excessive stress on the cardiovascular system.

Warm-up periods are essential for patients with angina since they help prepare the heart for the demands of exercise and can minimize the risk of ischemic episodes. The 10-15 beats per minute increase balances the need for safe progression while ensuring that the patient does not exceed their cardiac capacity too quickly.

Maintaining this level of heart rate increase allows healthcare professionals to monitor the patient's response effectively, ensuring their safety and comfort during exercise training sessions.
