My reasting heart rate falls between 52 and 61 most of the time. 

A lower resting heart rate usually means a stronger heart, or a result of some meds.LOL

Hi,
I have undergone angioplasty on 2014 and on average I walk 2 hours in a day
as my profession demands. On an average I walk 80000 steps in a week

Sometimes I walk continuously for 40 minutes and at that my average heart
rate comes in between 115 to 130

Sometimes during sleep my resting heart rate is below 60
What exactly the results indicates?

With regards,

Are you asking what does it indicate about how healthy is your body? 

The stronger your heart is,  the more effective is its ability to pump blood. It won't need to pump as fast as an out of shape  heart would need to pump. It sounds like at 80K a week your body is still being good to you.

I've  merged you two questions. 

An average step count of 80000 steps a week means that in a typical werk you have walked 80000 steps.

When sleeping my resting heart rate is in the 50's.  When not sleeping it's in the 60's.  I'm no medical professional but I'd say a lower resting HR is a good thing.  If you are still concerned you may want to discuss that with your Doctor.

For folks who engage in endurance training, a resting heart rate of 60(ish) is actually on the high end of normal; for folks with medical issues, a doctor should be consulted as to what is good or bad.

 

FWIW, like others responding here, my RHR is typically a point or two either side of 43 bpm, and my overnight heart rate is typically a point or two either side of 35, and yes, even though I'm old(ish), I engage in a lot of endurance training.
