Your heart rate is the number of times your heart pump beats per minute to do its job, which is to circulate blood (to provide oxygen and nutrients) to the rest of the body, says Puja Mehta, M.D ...
“That’s a reflection of a healthy cardiovascular system, one where the heart is able to beat strongly with each individual beat and not have to beat more frequently to get blood out to the ...
For example, Miguel Indurain, a Spanish cyclist and five time Tour de France winner, had a resting heart rate of 28 beats per minute, [68] one of the lowest ever recorded in a healthy human. Daniel Green achieved the world record for the slowest heartbeat in a healthy human with a heart rate of just 26 bpm in 2014. [69]
Tachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the normal resting rate. [1] In general, a resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia in adults. [1] Heart rates above the resting rate may be normal (such as with exercise) or abnormal (such as with electrical problems within the heart).
In adults and children over 15, resting heart rate faster than 100 beats per minute is labeled tachycardia. Tachycardia may result in palpitation; however, tachycardia is not necessarily an arrhythmia. Increased heart rate is a normal response to physical exercise or emotional stress.

The heart beats at a resting rate close to 72 beats per minute. [10] Exercise temporarily increases the rate, but lowers it in the long term, and is good for heart health. [11] Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death globally as of 2008, accounting for 30% of all human deaths.
Sinus tachycardia is a sinus rhythm of the heart, with an increased rate of electrical discharge from the sinoatrial node, resulting in a tachycardia, a heart rate that is higher than the upper limit of normal (90-100 beats per minute for adult humans). [1] The normal resting heart rate is 60–90 bpm in an average adult. [2]
