A medical monitoring device displaying a normal human heart rate. Heart rate is the frequency of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per minute (beats per minute, or bpm). The heart rate varies according to the body's physical needs, including the need to absorb oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide.
Palpitation can be associated with anxiety and does not necessarily indicate a structural or functional abnormality of the heart, but it can be a symptom arising from an objectively rapid or irregular heartbeat. Palpitation can be intermittent and of variable frequency and duration, or continuous.
A child aged 1–3 years old can have a heart rate of 80–130 bpm, a child aged 3–5 years old a heart rate of 80–120 bpm, an older child (age of 6–10) a heart rate of 70–110 bpm, and an adolescent (age 11–14) a heart rate of 60–105 bpm. [12] An adult (age 15+) can have a heart rate of 60–100 bpm. [12]
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 Europe, approximately 3% of the population has a panic attack in a given year, while in the United States, they affect about 11%. [2] Panic attacks are more prevalent in females than males and often begin during puberty or early adulthood. [2] Children and older adults are less commonly affected. [2]
While the Federal Reserve targets an inflation rate of 2%, costs have been rising more than 4% annually since 2021 and the 2022 average inflation rate was 8.00%.
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]
A diagnosis of bradycardia in adults is based on a heart rate of less than 60 BPM, [1] although some studies use a heart rate of less than 50 BPM. [34] This is usually determined either by palpation or ECG. [1] If symptoms occur, a determining electrolytes may help determine the underlying cause. [28]
