It is expressed as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (MHR). MHR is the maximum number of times that your heart can pump during one minute. To determine your approximate MHR, subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is only an estimation of your MHRÑonly clinical stress testing can provide an actual MHR reading.
