Adult male heart rate

Heart rate is a benchmark for monitoring whether a person's heart is normal. Many times, due to excessive exercise or excessive tension and excitement, the heart beats very frequently, which is also a normal physiological reaction. However, if the heart suddenly feels beating too fast in daily life, it should be considered that there is a problem with the heart and it should be taken seriously. So what is the normal heart rate for adult men?

1. Normal heart rhythm

Generally speaking, a heart rate of 60-90 is normal. In a quiet state, the heart rate of a healthy adult is about 75 beats per minute on average. The fluctuation range of a normal adult's heart rate is 60-100 per minute. Women's heart rate is faster than men's. The heart rate can increase during physical activities and mental excitement. Women's heart rate is faster than men's, but everything is relative. For example, people who often engage in heavy physical labor or physical exercise have a slower heart rate, which can be less than 60 beats per minute, but this is by no means a pathological condition and needs to be considered comprehensively.

2. Normal heart rate range

1. When the heart rate of an adult exceeds 100 beats per minute (usually not more than 160 beats per minute) or an infant exceeds 150 beats per minute, it is called sinus tachycardia. It is common in normal people after exercise, excitement, agitation, smoking, drinking and drinking strong tea. It can also be seen in fever, shock, anemia, hyperthyroidism, heart failure and the use of atropine, adrenaline, ephedrine, etc.

2. If the heart rate is between 160 and 220 beats per minute, it is often called paroxysmal tachycardia.

3. A heart rate lower than 60 beats/min (usually above 40 beats/min) is called sinus bradycardia. It can be seen in people who engage in long-term heavy physical labor and athletes; pathological bradycardia can be seen in hypothyroidism, increased intracranial pressure, obstructive jaundice, and overdose or poisoning of digitalis, quinidine or propranolol.

4. If the heart rate is lower than 40 beats/min, atrioventricular block should be considered.

5. A heart rate that is too fast, exceeding 160 beats/minute, or less than 40 beats/minute, is mostly seen in patients with heart disease. Patients often experience palpitations, chest tightness, and precordial discomfort. A detailed examination should be conducted as soon as possible so that treatment can be targeted at the cause.
