The president's medical profile shows a low to very low risk of coronary artery disease. His resting pulse rate dropped to 47 beats per minute from 52. Well-trained athletes typically have resting pulse rates of between 40 and 60 beats a minute.
Doctors made Bush run on a treadmill for more than 26 minutes as part of a test that evaluates the performance of his heart. His heart reached 183 beats per minute; no signs or symptoms of cardiovascular problems were noted. Other information from Bush's checkup included:
His body fat percentage fell to 15.79 from 18.25. It was 14.5 percent at his physical in August 2003.
His ability to see at a distance was 20/20 in both eyes.
A prostate screening test registered 0.5. Under 4 is good.
His exercise regimen includes mountain biking at up to 18 mph for 15 miles to 20 miles a week; doing low-impact "hill work" on a treadmill; and free weight resistance training and stretching.
He smokes a cigar occasionally, takes a daily multivitamin, a low-dose aspirin, omega-3 fatty acids linked to lower heart disease, and glucosamine/chondroitin to ease stiffness in his joints. posted 12:52am by jholmes
