Is Heart Beat same as pulse rate?

Your pulse rate, also known as your heart rate, is the number of times your heart beats per minute.

What is the normal heart beat and pulse rate?

A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats per minute.

When your pulse is too high?

Tachycardia heartbeat In tachycardia, an abnormal electrical impulse starting in the upper or lower chambers of the heart causes the heart to beat faster. Tachycardia is the medical term for a heart rate over 100 beats per minute. There are many heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) that can cause tachycardia.

Is 86 a good pulse rate?

Likely yes. The normal resting heart rate is 60 -100, though it’s typically in the 60’s – 70’s. 86 is a little high but may still be normal for you.

Is 73 a good heart rate?

A heart rate of 73 beats per minute (or 12.2 beats every 10 seconds) is within the range considered normal for adults and children over ten. While within the normal adult range of 60 to 100, a 73 pulse is 7.4\% quicker than the typical adult average of 73 bpm.

What is considered a dangerously high heart rate?

The only REAL threat to a high heart rate is if there is structure problems with the heart to begin with. If the heart is hypertrophied a rate of 150 could be dangerous simply because the thickened heart walls cannot relax and allow that much blood to flow into and out of the chamber.

What causes normal blood pressure and high pulse rate?

Atrial fibrillation often causes the atrium to quiver before beats, which slows the heart rate down, or it can spasm, which causes the heart rate to increase. If a patient suffers from both hypertension and atrial fibrillation, the patient may have a high blood pressure and low pulse rate.
