topicLogo Heart rate

Heart rate is the number of heartbeats per unit of time , typically expressed as beats per minute ( bpm ). Heart rate can vary as the body s need to absorb oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide changes, such as during exercise or sleep. The measurement of heart rate is used by medical professionals to assist in the diagnosis and tracking of medical conditions. It is also used by individuals, such as athletes , who are interested in monitoring their heart rate to gain maximum efficiency from their training. The R wave to R wave interval ( RR interval ) is the inverse of the heart rate.
