Lupron,ADT and Heart Rate

I have been aggressively exercising before and during this round of ADT (Lupron + Casodex). I don't think I can overstate the huge impact that exercise has on quality of ADT life! However, I have found it more difficult to increase my heart rate into an athletic zone and, since starting ADT in January, my Peak Heart Rate has dropped more than 20 BPM. That's a pretty huge difference but I have not found any literature on ADT effects on heart rate. Can anyone point me to research on this topic?

Mike, ADT is thought to increase mens risk for heart disease. Not sure specifically about heart rate. Stay tuned, its quite possible that others have encountered similar issues and may chime in

ADT doesn't seem to affected my heart rate. Cardio exercise tends to lower the resting heart rate over time, which is probably a good thing. I'm not sure about difficulty with getting the rate higher when exercising.
