Heart Rate Monitoring
&
NICE Guideline for ME
Is heart rate monitoring
advice often ignored?
The way I see it.
by Sally Burch - http://sallyjustme.blogspot.co.uk
The Dilemma:
Graded Exercise Therapy (GET)
- is recommended by NICE
- but patients complain that
symptoms get worse
An ME Association Survey shows:
74% of
patients who
have done
GET report
worsening
symptoms!*
*ME Association
Survey:
http://www.measso
ciation.org.uk/2015/
05/23959/
The ME Association
hasnowcalledfor
GradedExerciseTherapy(GET)
toberemovedfrom
NICEguidelines
http://www.meassociation.org.uk/2015/05/23959/
Unfortunately NICE guidelines are
on the static list
However . . .
there is oneNICE detail that
may helppatients until
guidelines are updated.
Heart Rate Monitors
are recommended by NICE
Yet it seems few medical
professionals suggest HR
monitors to patients.
NICE Guidelines [CG53]
canbefoundhere:
Published date: August 2007
http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg53/chapter/1-recommendations
NICE suggests ME patients
exercise at
50 -70%
of maximumheart rate
andthisonlyaftersucceedingwith
“low-intensity”exercise.
Heart Rate monitoring
is important
because“exercise”withME
looks verydifferent onceadheringto
heart rate limits. . .
Calculating Maximum Heart Rate
220 minusage in years*
For me this is
220 – 52 =
168 bpm(beats per minute)
*UnabletofindNICEguidanceoncalculatingMaxHR,Iusedthiswidelyappliedformula.
Calculating the ME Exercise Zone
50 – 70% of max HR
Usingmy max HR of 168 bpm
my exercisingrangewill be:
84 - 118 bpm
For Healthy Individuals
exercise at
50 – 70% of max HR
means a brisk walk or gentle jog
http://www.howtobefit.com/five-heart-rate-zones.htm
Here are the Exercise Zones:
50–70%includesthelowesttwobands
Exercise zones: Fox and Haskell from here
A doctorI saw early inmy illness told
me to take 3 short briskwalks a day.
Perhaps she was thinkingof the NICE
50 – 70%recommendation. . .
without realisinghowdifferent things
are for ME patients?
I now use a HR monitor
And here are some typical heart rates for me:
Activity Typical HR
Reached
Typical HR
as % of my max HR
Writing an email 90 54% (Warm-Up)
Making a hot drink 115 68% (Fat burn)
Walking to bathroom 125 74% (Cardio)
Getting dressed 130 77% (Cardio)
Brushing my teeth 130 77% (Cardio)
Taking a seated shower 140 84% (Hard-core)
Some days are better, some worse, but these
numbers are quite different to those of a healthy
individual.
I use a shower stool,
but showeringstill takes my HR above
the 50 – 70%rangerecommended
by NICE.
Yet ask any healthy person if
showering counts as “exercise” and
their answer would be NO!
Perhaps the word
“exercise” is misleading
when used in the context of ME
So what can be done?
NICEadvisesthatexerciseshouldbedone
“using a heart rate monitor”
This issomethingmedicalprofessionalsinvolved
withMEallneedtoknowabout,andtoapply.
So let’s spread the word:
“NICE recommends
Heart Rate Monitors for ME”
Hopefullythis waypatients can avoid
harmful un-monitoredexercise advice.
It is my opinion:
that ME patients, rather than
needing more exercise
. . . actually need help to adjust
daily activities to stay within
safe heart rate zones.
I also think that NICE guidelines
are now very outdated and
long overdue for review.

Post Script:
Following a comment on my blog, and drawing
also on my own experience, I should mention that
there can be times when heart rate appears
deceptively low.
In my experience this does not necessarily mean a
green light to push a bit more. Caution is always
advisable and only tiny changes to intensity or
duration of "exercise" should ever be attempted.
