Heart rateis thefrequencyof theheartbeatmeasured by the number of contractions of theheartper minute (beats per minute,or bpm). The heart rate varies according to the body'sphysicalneeds, including the need to absorboxygenand excretecarbon dioxide.It is also modulated by numerous factors, including (but not limited to) genetics,physical fitness,stressor psychological status, diet, drugs, hormonal status, environment, and disease/illness, as well as the interaction between these factors.[1]It is usually equal or close to thepulse ratemeasured at any peripheral point.[2]

Amedical monitoringdevice displaying a normal human heart rate

TheAmerican Heart Associationstates the normal resting adult human heart rate is 60–100 bpm. An ultra-trained athlete would have a resting heart rate of 37–38 bpm.[3]Tachycardiais a high heart rate, defined as above 100 bpm at rest.[4]Bradycardiais a low heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm at rest. When a human sleeps, a heartbeat with rates around 40–50 bpm is common and considered normal. When the heart is not beating in a regular pattern, this is referred to as anarrhythmia.Abnormalities of heart rate sometimes indicatedisease.[5]

Physiology

edit
Thehuman heart

Whileheart rhythmis regulated entirely by thesinoatrial nodeunder normal conditions,heart rateis regulated bysympatheticandparasympatheticinput to the sinoatrial node. Theaccelerans nerveprovides sympathetic input to the heart by releasingnorepinephrineonto the cells of the sinoatrial node (SA node), and thevagus nerveprovides parasympathetic input to the heart by releasingacetylcholineonto sinoatrial node cells. Therefore, stimulation of theaccelerans nerveincreases heart rate, while stimulation of the vagus nerve decreases it.[6]

As water and blood are incompressible fluids, one of the physiological ways to deliver more blood to an organ is to increase heart rate.[5]Normal resting heart rates range from 60 to 100 bpm.[7][8][9][10]Bradycardiais defined as a resting heart rate below 60 bpm. However, heart rates from 50 to 60 bpm are common among healthy people and do not necessarily require special attention.[3]Tachycardiais defined as a resting heart rate above 100 bpm, though persistent rest rates between 80 and 100 bpm, mainly if they are present during sleep, may be signs of hyperthyroidism or anemia (see below).[5]

There are many ways in which the heart rate speeds up or slows down. Most involve stimulant-likeendorphinsandhormonesbeing released in the brain, some of which are those that are 'forced'/'enticed' out by the ingestion and processing of drugs such ascocaineoratropine.[11][12][13]

This section discusses target heart rates for healthy persons, which would be inappropriately high for most persons with coronary artery disease.[14]

Influences from the central nervous system

edit

Cardiovascular centres

edit

The heart rate is rhythmically generated by thesinoatrial node.It is also influenced bycentralfactors through sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves.[15]Nervous influence over the heart rate is centralized within the two pairedcardiovascular centresof themedulla oblongata.The cardioaccelerator regions stimulate activity via sympathetic stimulation of the cardioaccelerator nerves, and the cardioinhibitory centers decrease heart activity via parasympathetic stimulation as one component of thevagus nerve.During rest, both centers provide slight stimulation to the heart, contributing to autonomic tone. This is a similar concept to tone in skeletal muscles. Normally, vagal stimulation predominates as, left unregulated, the SA node would initiate asinus rhythmof approximately 100 bpm.[16]

Both sympathetic and parasympathetic stimuli flow through the pairedcardiac plexusnear the base of the heart. The cardioaccelerator center also sends additional fibers, forming the cardiac nerves via sympathetic ganglia (the cervical ganglia plus superior thoracic ganglia T1–T4) to both the SA and AV nodes, plus additional fibers to the atria and ventricles. The ventricles are more richly innervated by sympathetic fibers than parasympathetic fibers. Sympathetic stimulation causes the release of the neurotransmitternorepinephrine(also known asnoradrenaline) at theneuromuscular junctionof the cardiac nerves. This shortens the repolarization period, thus speeding the rate of depolarization and contraction, which results in an increased heartrate. It opens chemical or ligand-gated sodium and calcium ion channels, allowing an influx of positively charged ions.[16]

Norepinephrine binds to the beta–1 receptor.High blood pressuremedications are used to block these receptors and so reduce the heart rate.[16]

Autonomic innervation of the heart: Cardioaccelerator and cardioinhibitory areas are components of the paired cardiac centers located in the medulla oblongata of the brain. They innervate the heart via sympathetic cardiac nerves that increase cardiac activity and vagus (parasympathetic) nerves that slow cardiac activity.[16]

Parasympathetic stimulation originates from the cardioinhibitory region of the brain[17]with impulses traveling via the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X). The vagus nerve sends branches to both the SA and AV nodes, and to portions of both the atria and ventricles. Parasympathetic stimulation releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) at the neuromuscular junction. ACh slows HR by opening chemical- or ligand-gated potassium ion channels to slow the rate of spontaneous depolarization, which extends repolarization and increases the time before the next spontaneous depolarization occurs. Without any nervous stimulation, the SA node would establish a sinus rhythm of approximately 100 bpm. Since resting rates are considerably less than this, it becomes evident that parasympathetic stimulation normally slows HR. This is similar to an individual driving a car with one foot on the brake pedal. To speed up, one need merely remove one's foot from the brake and let the engine increase speed. In the case of the heart, decreasing parasympathetic stimulation decreases the release of ACh, which allows HR to increase up to approximately 100 bpm. Any increases beyond this rate would require sympathetic stimulation.[16]

Effects of parasympathetic and sympathetic stimulation on normal sinus rhythm: The wave of depolarization in a normal sinus rhythm shows a stable resting HR. Following parasympathetic stimulation, HR slows. Following sympathetic stimulation, HR increases.[16]

Input to the cardiovascular centres

edit

The cardiovascular centre receive input from a series of visceral receptors with impulses traveling through visceral sensory fibers within the vagus and sympathetic nerves via the cardiac plexus. Among these receptors are variousproprioreceptors,baroreceptors,andchemoreceptors,plus stimuli from thelimbic systemwhich normally enable the precise regulation of heart function, via cardiac reflexes. Increased physical activity results in increased rates of firing by various proprioreceptors located in muscles, joint capsules, and tendons. The cardiovascular centres monitor these increased rates of firing, suppressing parasympathetic stimulation or increasing sympathetic stimulation as needed in order to increase blood flow.[16]

Similarly, baroreceptors are stretch receptors located in the aortic sinus, carotid bodies, the venae cavae, and other locations, including pulmonary vessels and the right side of the heart itself. Rates of firing from the baroreceptors represent blood pressure, level of physical activity, and the relative distribution of blood. The cardiac centers monitor baroreceptor firing to maintain cardiac homeostasis, a mechanism called the baroreceptor reflex. With increased pressure and stretch, the rate of baroreceptor firing increases, and the cardiac centers decrease sympathetic stimulation and increase parasympathetic stimulation. As pressure and stretch decrease, the rate of baroreceptor firing decreases, and the cardiac centers increase sympathetic stimulation and decrease parasympathetic stimulation.[16]

There is a similar reflex, called the atrial reflex orBainbridge reflex,associated with varying rates of blood flow to the atria. Increased venous return stretches the walls of the atria where specialized baroreceptors are located. However, as the atrial baroreceptors increase their rate of firing and as they stretch due to the increased blood pressure, the cardiac center responds by increasing sympathetic stimulation and inhibiting parasympathetic stimulation to increase HR. The opposite is also true.[16]

Increased metabolic byproducts associated with increased activity, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions, and lactic acid, plus falling oxygen levels, are detected by a suite of chemoreceptors innervated by the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves. These chemoreceptors provide feedback to the cardiovascular centers about the need for increased or decreased blood flow, based on the relative levels of these substances.[16]

The limbic system can also significantly impact HR related to emotional state. During periods of stress, it is not unusual to identify higher than normal HRs, often accompanied by a surge in the stress hormone cortisol. Individuals experiencing extreme anxiety may manifestpanic attackswith symptoms that resemble those of heart attacks. These events are typically transient and treatable. Meditation techniques have been developed to ease anxiety and have been shown to lower HR effectively.[18]Doing simple deep and slow breathing exercises with one's eyes closed can also significantly reduce this anxiety and HR.[16]

Using a combination of autorhythmicity and innervation, the cardiovascular center is able to provide relatively precise control over the heart rate, but other factors can impact on this. These include hormones, notably epinephrine, norepinephrine, and thyroid hormones; levels of various ions including calcium, potassium, and sodium; body temperature; hypoxia; and pH balance.[16]

Epinephrine and norepinephrine

edit

Thecatecholamines,epinephrine and norepinephrine, secreted by theadrenal medullaform one component of the extended fight-or-flight mechanism. The other component is sympathetic stimulation. Epinephrine and norepinephrine have similar effects: binding to the beta-1adrenergic receptors,and opening sodium and calcium ion chemical- or ligand-gated channels. The rate of depolarization is increased by this additional influx of positively charged ions, so the threshold is reached more quickly and the period of repolarization is shortened. However, massive releases of these hormones coupled with sympathetic stimulation may actually lead to arrhythmias. There is no parasympathetic stimulation to the adrenal medulla.[16]

Thyroid hormones

edit

In general, increased levels of thethyroid hormones(thyroxine(T4) andtriiodothyronine(T3)), increase the heart rate; excessive levels can triggertachycardia.The impact of thyroid hormones is typically of a much longer duration than that of the catecholamines. The physiologically active form of triiodothyronine, has been shown to directly entercardiomyocytesand alter activity at the level of the genome.[clarification needed]It also impacts thebeta-adrenergicresponse similar to epinephrine and norepinephrine.[16]

Calcium

edit

Calcium ion levels have a great impact on heart rate andmyocardial contractility:increased calcium levels cause an increase in both. High levels of calcium ions result inhypercalcemiaand excessive levels can inducecardiac arrest.Drugs known as calcium channel blockers slow HR by binding to these channels and blocking or slowing the inward movement of calcium ions.[16]

Caffeine and nicotine

edit

Caffeineandnicotineare both stimulants of the nervous system and of the cardiac centres causing an increased heart rate. Caffeine works by increasing the rates ofdepolarizationat theSA node,whereas nicotine stimulates the activity of the sympathetic neurons that deliver impulses to the heart.[16]

Effects of stress

edit

Both surprise and stress induce physiological response:elevate heart rate substantially.[19]In a study conducted on 8 female and male student actors ages 18 to 25, their reaction to an unforeseen occurrence (the cause of stress) during a performance was observed in terms of heart rate. In the data collected, there was a noticeable trend between the location of actors (onstage and offstage) and their elevation in heart rate in response to stress; the actors present offstage reacted to the stressor immediately, demonstrated by their immediate elevation in heart rate the minute the unexpected event occurred, but the actors present onstage at the time of the stressor reacted in the following 5 minute period (demonstrated by their increasingly elevated heart rate). This trend regarding stress and heart rate is supported by previous studies;negative emotion/stimulus has a prolonged effect on heart rate in individuals who are directly impacted.[20] In regard to the characters present onstage, a reduced startle response has been associated with a passive defense, and the diminished initial heart rate response has been predicted to have a greater tendency to dissociation.[21]Current evidence suggests thatheart rate variabilitycan be used as an accurate measure ofpsychological stressand may be used for an objective measurement of psychological stress.[22]

Factors decreasing heart rate

edit

The heart rate can be slowed by altered sodium and potassium levels,hypoxia,acidosis,alkalosis,andhypothermia.The relationship between electrolytes and HR is complex, but maintaining electrolyte balance is critical to the normal wave of depolarization. Of the two ions, potassium has the greater clinical significance. Initially, bothhyponatremia(low sodium levels) andhypernatremia(high sodium levels) may lead to tachycardia. Severely high hypernatremia may lead tofibrillation,which may cause cardiac output to cease. Severe hyponatremia leads to both bradycardia and other arrhythmias.Hypokalemia(low potassium levels) also leads to arrhythmias, whereashyperkalemia(high potassium levels) causes the heart to become weak and flaccid, and ultimately to fail.[16]

Heart muscle relies exclusively onaerobic metabolismfor energy. Severemyocardial infarction(commonly called a heart attack) can lead to adecreasing heart rate,since metabolic reactions fueling heart contraction are restricted.[16]

Acidosisis a condition in which excess hydrogen ions are present, and the patient's blood expresses a low pH value.Alkalosisis a condition in which there are too few hydrogen ions, and the patient's blood has an elevated pH.Normal blood pHfalls in the range of 7.35–7.45, so a number lower than this range represents acidosis and a higher number represents alkalosis. Enzymes, being the regulators or catalysts of virtually all biochemical reactions – are sensitive to pH and will change shape slightly with values outside their normal range. These variations in pH and accompanying slight physical changes to the active site on the enzyme decrease the rate of formation of the enzyme-substrate complex, subsequently decreasing the rate of many enzymatic reactions, which can have complex effects on HR. Severe changes in pH will lead to denaturation of the enzyme.[16]

The last variable is body temperature. Elevated body temperature is calledhyperthermia,and suppressed body temperature is calledhypothermia.Slight hyperthermia results in increasing HR and strength of contraction. Hypothermia slows the rate and strength of heart contractions. This distinct slowing of the heart is one component of the larger diving reflex that diverts blood to essential organs while submerged. If sufficiently chilled, the heart will stop beating, a technique that may be employed during open heart surgery. In this case, the patient's blood is normally diverted to anartificial heart-lung machineto maintain the body's blood supply andgas exchangeuntil the surgery is complete, and sinus rhythm can be restored. Excessive hyperthermia and hypothermia will both result in death, as enzymes drive the body systems to cease normal function, beginning with the central nervous system.[16]

Physiological control over heart rate

edit
Dolphin heart rate graph

A study shows thatbottlenose dolphinscan learn – apparently viainstrumental conditioning– to rapidly and selectively slow down their heart rate during diving for conserving oxygen depending on external signals. In humans regulating heart rate by methods such as listening to music,meditationor avagal maneuvertakes longer and only lowers the rate to a much smaller extent. [23]

In different circumstances

Heart rate is not a stable value and it increases or decreases in response to the body's need in a way to maintain an equilibrium (basal metabolic rate) between requirement and delivery of oxygen and nutrients. The normal SA node firing rate is affected byautonomic nervous systemactivity:sympathetic stimulationincreases andparasympathetic stimulationdecreases the firing rate.[24]

The basal or resting heart rate (HRrest) is defined as the heart rate when a person is awake, in a neutrallytemperateenvironment, and has not been subject to any recent exertion or stimulation, such as stress or surprise. The normal resting heart rate is based on the at-rest firing rate of the heart'ssinoatrial node,where the fasterpacemaker cellsdriving the self-generated rhythmic firing and responsible for the heart'sautorhythmicityare located.[26]

In one study 98% of cardiologists suggested that as a desirable target range, 50 to 90 beats per minute is more appropriate than 60 to 100.[10]The available evidence indicates that the normal range for resting heart rate is 50–90 beats per minute (bpm).[7][8][9][10]In a study of over 35,000 American men and women over age 40 during the 1999-2008 period, 71 bpm was the average for men, and 73 bpm was the average for women.[27]

Resting heart rate is often correlated with mortality. In the Copenhagen City Heart Study a heart rate of 65 bpm rather than 80 bpm was associated with 4.6 years longer life expectancy in men and 3.6 years in women.[27]Other studies have shown all-cause mortality is increased by 1.22 (hazard ratio) when heart rate exceeds 90 beats per minute.[7]ECG of 46,129 individuals with low risk for cardiovascular disease revealed that 96% had resting heart rates ranging from 48 to 98 beats per minute.[9]The mortality rate of patients with myocardial infarction increased from 15% to 41% if their admission heart rate was greater than 90 beats per minute.[8]For endurance athletes at the elite level, it is not unusual to have a resting heart rate between 33 and 50 bpm.[citation needed]

Maximum heart rate

edit
An elite athlete's heart recorded during a maximum effort workout maintaining over 180 bpm for 10 minutes.

Themaximum heart rate(HRmax) is the age-related highest number of beats per minute of the heart when reaching a point of exhaustion[28][29]without severe problems through exercise stress.[30] In general it is loosely estimated as 220 minus one's age.[31] It generally decreases with age.[31]Since HRmaxvaries by individual, the most accurate way of measuring any single person's HRmaxis via acardiac stress test.In this test, a person is subjected to controlled physiologic stress (generally bytreadmillor bicycle ergometer) while being monitored by anelectrocardiogram(ECG). The intensity of exercise is periodically increased until certain changes in heart function are detected on the ECG monitor, at which point the subject is directed to stop. Typical duration of the test ranges ten to twenty minutes.[citation needed]Adults who are beginning a new exercise regimen are often advised to perform this test only in the presence of medical staff due to risks associated with high heart rates.

The theoretical maximum heart rate of a human is 300 bpm; however, there have been multiple cases where this theoretical upper limit has been exceeded. The fastest human ventricular conduction rate recorded to this day is a conductedtachyarrhythmiawith ventricular rate of 600 beats per minute,[32]which is comparable to the heart rate of a mouse.

For general purposes, a number of formulas are used to estimate HRmax.However, these predictive formulas have been criticized as inaccurate because they only produce generalized population-averages and may deviate significantly from the actual value. (See§ Limitations.)

Haskell & Fox (1970)

edit
Fox and Haskell formula; widely used

Notwithstanding later research, the most widely cited formula for HRmaxis still:[44]

HRmax= 220 − age

Although attributed to various sources, it is widely thought to have been devised in 1970 by Dr. William Haskell and Dr. Samuel Fox.[45]They did not develop this formula from original research, but rather by plotting data from approximately 11 references consisting of published research or unpublished scientific compilations.[34]It gained widespread use through being used byPolar Electroin its heart rate monitors,[45]which Dr. Haskell has "laughed about",[45]as the formula "was never supposed to be an absolute guide to rule people's training."[45]

While this formula is commonly used (and easy to remember and calculate), research has consistently found that it is subject to bias, particularly in older adults.[46]Compared to the age-specific average HRmax,the Haskell and Fox formula overestimates HRmaxin young adults, agrees with it at age 40, and underestimates HRmaxin older adults.[42][43]For example, in one study, the average HRmaxat age 76 was about 10bpm higher than the Haskell and Fox equation.[43]Consequently, the formula cannot be recommended for use in exercise physiology and related fields.[34]

Other formulas

edit
The various formulae provide slightly different numbers for the maximum heart rates by age.

HRmaxis strongly correlated to age, and most formulas are solely based on this.[37]Studies have been mixed on the effect of gender, with some finding that gender is statistically significant, although small when considering overall equation error, while others finding negligible effect.[43]The inclusion of physical activity status, maximal oxygen uptake, smoking, body mass index,[42]body weight, or resting heart rate[40]did not significantly improve accuracy. Nonlinear models are slightly more accurate predictors of average age-specific HRmax,particularly above 60 years of age, but are harder to apply, and provide statistically negligible improvement over linear models.[40][43]The Wingate formula is the most recent, had the largest data set, and performed best on a fresh data set when compared with other formulas, although it had only a small amount of data for ages 60 and older so those estimates should be viewed with caution.[43]In addition, most formulas are developed for adults and are not applicable to children and adolescents.[47]

Limitations

edit

Maximum heart rates vary significantly between individuals.[45]Age explains only about half of HRmaxvariance.[43]For a given age, the standard deviation of HRmaxfrom the age-specific population mean is about 12bpm, and a 95% interval for the prediction error is about 24bpm.[48]For example, Dr. Fritz Hagerman observed that the maximum heart rates of men in their 20s on Olympic rowing teams vary from 160 to 220.[45]Such a variation would equate to an age range of -16 to 68 using the Wingate formula.[49]The formulas are quite accurate at predicting the average heart rate of a group of similarly-aged individuals, but relatively poor for a given individual.

Robergs and Landwehr opine that forVO2 max,prediction errors in HRmaxneed to be less than ±3 bpm. No current formula meets this accuracy. For prescribing exercise training heart rate ranges, the errors in the more accurate formulas may be acceptable, but again it is likely that, for a significant fraction of the population, current equations used to estimate HRmaxare not accurate enough.[34]Froelicher and Myers describe maximum heart formulas as "largely useless".[50]Measurement via a maximal test is preferable whenever possible,[42]which can be as accurate as ±2bpm.[34]

Heart rate reserve

edit

Heart rate reserve(HRreserve) is the difference between a person's measured or predicted maximum heart rate and resting heart rate. Some methods of measurement of exercise intensity measure percentage of heart rate reserve. Additionally, as a person increases their cardiovascular fitness, their HRrestwill drop, and the heart rate reserve will increase. Percentage of HRreserveis statistically indistinguishable from percentage ofVO2reserve.[51]

HRreserve= HRmax− HRrest

This is often used to gauge exercise intensity (first used in 1957 by Karvonen).[52]

Karvonen's study findings have been questioned, due to the following:

  • The study did not use VO2data to develop the equation.
  • Only six subjects were used.
  • Karvonen incorrectly reported that the percentages of HRreserveand VO2max correspond to each other, but newer evidence shows that it correlated much better with VO2reserve as described above.[53]

Target heart rate

edit

For healthy people, theTarget Heart Rate(THR) orTraining Heart Rate Range(THRR) is a desired range of heart rate reached duringaerobic exercisewhich enables one'sheartandlungsto receive the most benefit from a workout. This theoretical range varies based mostly on age; however, a person's physical condition, sex, and previous training also are used in the calculation.[citation needed]

By percent, Fox–Haskell-based

edit

The THR can be calculated as a range of 65–85% intensity, with intensity defined simply as percentage of HRmax.However, it is crucial to derive an accurate HRmaxto ensure these calculations are meaningful.[citation needed]

Example for someone with a HRmaxof 180 (age 40, estimating HRmaxAs 220 − age):

65% Intensity: (220 − (age = 40)) × 0.65 → 117 bpm
85% Intensity: (220 − (age = 40)) × 0.85 → 154 bpm

Karvonen method

edit

TheKarvonen methodfactors in resting heart rate (HRrest) to calculate target heart rate (THR), using a range of 50–85% intensity:[54]

THR = ((HRmax− HRrest) × % intensity) + HRrest

Equivalently,

THR = (HRreserve× % intensity) + HRrest

Example for someone with a HRmaxof 180 and a HRrestof 70 (and therefore a HRreserveof 110):

50% Intensity: ((180 − 70) × 0.50) + 70 = 125 bpm
85% Intensity: ((180 − 70) × 0.85) + 70 = 163 bpm

Zoladz method

edit

An alternative to the Karvonen method is theZoladz method,which is used to test an athlete's capabilities at specific heart rates. These are not intended to be used as exercise zones, although they are often used as such.[55]The Zoladz test zones are derived by subtracting values from HRmax:

THR = HRmax− Adjuster ± 5 bpm
Zone 1 Adjuster = 50 bpm
Zone 2 Adjuster = 40 bpm
Zone 3 Adjuster = 30 bpm
Zone 4 Adjuster = 20 bpm
Zone 5 Adjuster = 10 bpm

Example for someone with a HRmaxof 180:

Zone 1 (easy exercise): 180 − 50 ± 5 → 125 − 135 bpm
Zone 4 (tough exercise): 180 − 20 ± 5 → 155 − 165 bpm

Heart rate recovery

edit

Heart rate recovery (HRR) is the reduction in heart rate at peak exercise and the rate as measured after a cool-down period of fixed duration.[56]A greater reduction in heart rate after exercise during the reference period is associated with a higher level of cardiac fitness.[57]

Heart rates assessed during treadmill stress test that do not drop by more than 12 bpm one minute after stopping exercise (if cool-down period after exercise) or by more than 18 bpm one minute after stopping exercise (if no cool-down period and supine position as soon as possible) are associated with an increased risk of death.[58][56]People with an abnormal HRR defined as a decrease of 42 beats per minutes or less at two minutes post-exercise had a mortality rate 2.5 times greater than patients with a normal recovery.[57]Another study reported a four-fold increase in mortality in subjects with an abnormal HRR defined as ≤12 bpm reduction one minute after the cessation of exercise.[57]A study reported that a HRR of ≤22 bpm after two minutes "best identified high-risk patients".[57]They also found that while HRR had significantprognosticvalue it had nodiagnosticvalue.[57][59]

Development

edit
At 21 days afterconception,the human heart begins beating at 70 to 80 beats per minute and accelerates linearly for the first month of beating.
Fetal heart rate monitoring. 30 weeks pregnancy.

The human heart beats more than 2.8 billion times in an average lifetime.[60] Theheartbeatof a humanembryobegins at approximately 21 days after conception, or five weeks after the last normalmenstrual period(LMP), which is the date normally used to date pregnancy in the medical community. The electrical depolarizations that trigger cardiacmyocytesto contract arise spontaneously within themyocyteitself. The heartbeat is initiated in the pacemaker regions and spreads to the rest of the heart through a conduction pathway. Pacemaker cells develop in the primitive atrium and the sinus venosus to form thesinoatrial nodeand theatrioventricular noderespectively. Conductive cells develop thebundle of Hisand carry thedepolarizationinto the lower heart.[citation needed]

The human heart begins beating at a rate near the mother's, about 75–80 beats per minute (bpm). The embryonic heart rate then accelerates linearly for the first month of beating, peaking at 165–185 bpm during the early 7th week, (early 9th week after the LMP). This acceleration is approximately 3.3 bpm per day, or about 10 bpm every three days, an increase of 100 bpm in the first month.[61]

After peaking at about 9.2 weeks after the LMP, it decelerates to about 150 bpm (+/-25 bpm) during the 15th week after the LMP. After the 15th week the deceleration slows reaching an average rate of about 145 (+/-25 bpm) bpm at term. The regression formula which describes this acceleration before the embryo reaches 25 mm in crown-rump length or 9.2 LMP weeks is:

Clinical significance

edit

Manual measurement

edit
Wrist heart rate monitor (2009)
Heart rate monitor with a wrist receiver

Heart rate is measured by finding thepulseof the heart. This pulse rate can be found at any point on the body where theartery'spulsation is transmitted to the surface by pressuring it with the index and middle fingers; often it is compressed against an underlying structure like bone. The thumb should not be used for measuring another person's heart rate, as its strong pulse may interfere with the correct perception of the target pulse.[citation needed]

Theradial arteryis the easiest to use to check the heart rate. However, in emergency situations the most reliable arteries to measure heart rate arecarotid arteries.This is important mainly in patients withatrial fibrillation,in whom heart beats are irregular andstroke volumeis largely different from one beat to another. In those beats following a shorter diastolic interval left ventricle does not fill properly, stroke volume is lower and pulse wave is not strong enough to be detected by palpation on a distal artery like the radial artery. It can be detected, however, by doppler.[62][63]

Possible points for measuring the heart rate are:[citation needed]

  1. The ventral aspect of thewriston the side of the thumb (radial artery).
  2. Theulnar artery.
  3. The inside of theelbow,or under the biceps muscle (brachial artery).
  4. Thegroin(femoral artery).
  5. Behind the medialmalleoluson the feet (posterior tibial artery).
  6. Middle ofdorsumof the foot (dorsalis pedis).
  7. Behind the knee (popliteal artery).
  8. Over theabdomen(abdominal aorta).
  9. The chest (apex of the heart), which can be felt with one's hand or fingers. It is also possible toauscultatethe heart using astethoscope.
  10. In the neck, lateral of thelarynx(carotid artery)
  11. Thetemple(superficial temporal artery).
  12. The lateral edge of the mandible (facial artery).
  13. The side of the head near the ear (posterior auricular artery).
ECG-RRinterval

Electronic measurement

edit
Inobstetrics,heart rate can be measured byultrasonography,such as in this embryo (at bottom left in thesac) of 6 weeks with a heart rate of approximately 90 per minute.

A more precise method of determining heart rate involves the use of anelectrocardiograph,or ECG (also abbreviatedEKG). An ECG generates a pattern based on electrical activity of the heart, which closely follows heart function. Continuous ECG monitoring is routinely done in many clinical settings, especially incritical care medicine.On the ECG, instantaneous heart rate is calculated using the R wave-to-R wave (RR) interval and multiplying/dividing in order to derive heart rate in heartbeats/min. Multiple methods exist:[citation needed]

  • HR = 1000 · 60/(RR interval in milliseconds)
  • HR = 60/(RR interval in seconds)
  • HR = 300/number of "large" squares between successive R waves.
  • HR= 1,500 number of large blocks

Heart rate monitors allow measurements to be taken continuously and can be used during exercise when manual measurement would be difficult or impossible (such as when the hands are being used). Various commercialheart rate monitorsare also available. Some monitors, used during sport, consist of a chest strap withelectrodes.The signal is transmitted to a wrist receiver for display.[citation needed]

Alternative methods of measurement includeseismocardiography.[64]

Optical measurements

Pulsatile retinal blood flow in the optic nerve head region revealed bylaser Doppler imaging[65]

Pulse oximetryof the finger andlaser Doppler imagingof the eye fundus are often used in the clinics. Those techniques can assess the heart rate by measuring the delay betweenpulses.[citation needed]

Tachycardia

edit

Tachycardia is a resting heart rate more than 100 beats per minute. This number can vary as smaller people and children have faster heart rates than average adults.

Physiological conditions where tachycardia occurs:

  1. Pregnancy
  2. Emotional conditions such as anxiety or stress.
  3. Exercise

Pathological conditions where tachycardia occurs:

  1. Sepsis
  2. Fever
  3. Anemia
  4. Hypoxia
  5. Hyperthyroidism
  6. Hypersecretion of catecholamines
  7. Cardiomyopathy
  8. Valvular heart diseases
  9. Acute Radiation Syndrome
  10. Dehydration
  11. Metabolic myopathies(At rest, tachycardia is commonly seen in fatty acid oxidation disorders. An inappropriate rapid heart rate response to exercise is seen in muscle glycogenoses and mitochondrial myopathies, where the tachycardia is faster than would be expected during exercise).

Bradycardia

edit

Bradycardia was defined as a heart rate less than 60 beats per minute when textbooks asserted that the normal range for heart rates was 60–100 bpm. The normal range has since been revised in textbooks to 50–90 bpm for a human at total rest. Setting a lower threshold for bradycardia prevents misclassification of fit individuals as having a pathologic heart rate. The normal heart rate number can vary as children and adolescents tend to have faster heart rates than average adults. Bradycardia may be associated with medical conditions such ashypothyroidism,heart disease, or inflammatory disease.[66]At rest, although tachycardia is more commonly seen infatty acid oxidation disorders,more rarely acute bradycardia can occur.[67]

Trainedathletestend to have slow resting heart rates, and resting bradycardia in athletes should not be considered abnormal if the individual has no symptoms associated with it. For example,Miguel Indurain,a Spanish cyclist and five timeTour de Francewinner, 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]

Arrhythmia

edit

Arrhythmias are abnormalities of the heart rate and rhythm (sometimes felt aspalpitations). They can be divided into two broad categories: fast and slow heart rates. Some cause few or minimal symptoms. Others produce more serious symptoms of lightheadedness, dizziness and fainting.[70]

Hypertension

edit

Elevated heart rate is a powerful predictor of morbidity and mortality in patients with hypertension.[71]Atherosclerosisanddysautonomiaare major contributors to the pathogenesis.[71]

Correlation with cardiovascular mortality risk

edit

A number of investigations indicate that faster resting heart rate has emerged as a new risk factor for mortality inhomeothermicmammals, particularly cardiovascular mortality in human beings. High heart rate is associated withendothelial dysfunctionand increasedatheromatous plaqueformation leading toatherosclerosis.[72]Faster heart rate may accompany increased production of inflammation molecules and increased production of reactive oxygen species in cardiovascular system, in addition to increased mechanical stress to the heart. There is a correlation between increased resting rate and cardiovascular risk. This is not seen to be "using an allotment of heart beats" but rather an increased risk to the system from the increased rate.[1]

An Australian-led international study of patients with cardiovascular disease has shown that heart beat rate is a key indicator for the risk of heart attack. The study, published inThe Lancet(September 2008) studied 11,000 people, across 33 countries, who were being treated for heart problems. Those patients whose heart rate was above 70 beats per minute had significantly higher incidence of heart attacks, hospital admissions and the need for surgery. Higher heart rate is thought to be correlated with an increase in heart attack and about a 46 percent increase in hospitalizations for non-fatal or fatal heart attack.[73]

Other studies have shown that a high resting heart rate is associated with an increase in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in the general population and in patients with chronic diseases.[74][75]A faster resting heart rate is associated with shorter life expectancy[1][76]and is considered a strong risk factor for heart disease and heart failure,[77]independent of level of physical fitness.[78]Specifically, a resting heart rate above 65 beats per minute has been shown to have a strong independent effect on premature mortality; every 10 beats per minute increase in resting heart rate has been shown to be associated with a 10–20% increase in risk of death.[79]In one study, men with no evidence of heart disease and a resting heart rate of more than 90 beats per minute had a five times higher risk of sudden cardiac death.[77]Similarly, another study found that men with resting heart rates of over 90 beats per minute had an almost two-fold increase in risk for cardiovascular disease mortality; in women it was associated with a three-fold increase.[76]In patients having heart rates of 70 beats/minute or above, each additional beat/minute was associated with increased rate of cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization.[72]

Given these data, heart rate should be considered in the assessment of cardiovascular risk, even in apparently healthy individuals.[80]Heart rate has many advantages as a clinical parameter: It is inexpensive and quick to measure and is easily understandable.[81]Although the accepted limits of heart rate are between 60 and 100 beats per minute, this was based for convenience on the scale of the squares on electrocardiogram paper; a better definition of normal sinus heart rate may be between 50 and 90 beats per minute.[82][74]

Standard textbooks of physiology and medicine mention that heart rate (HR) is readily calculated from the ECG as follows: HR = 1000*60/RR interval in milliseconds, HR = 60/RR interval in seconds, or HR = 300/number of large squares between successive R waves. In each case, the authors are actually referring to instantaneous HR, which is the number of times the heart would beat if successive RR intervals were constant.

Lifestyle and pharmacological regimens may be beneficial to those with high resting heart rates.[79]Exercise is one possible measure to take when an individual's heart rate is higher than 80 beats per minute.[81][83]Diet has also been found to be beneficial in lowering resting heart rate: In studies of resting heart rate and risk of death and cardiac complications on patients with type 2 diabetes, legumes were found to lower resting heart rate.[84]This is thought to occur because in addition to the direct beneficial effects of legumes, they also displace animal proteins in the diet, which are higher in saturated fat and cholesterol.[84]Another nutrient is Omega -3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega -3 fatty acidor LC-PUFA). In a meta-analysis with a total of 51 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 3,000 participants, the supplement mildly but significantly reduced heart rate (-2.23 bpm; 95% CI: -3.07, -1.40 bpm). Whendocosahexaenoic acid(DHA) andeicosapentaenoic acid(EPA) were compared, modest heart rate reduction was observed in trials that supplemented with DHA (-2.47 bpm; 95% CI: -3.47, -1.46 bpm), but not in those received EPA.[85]

A very slow heart rate (bradycardia) may be associated withheart block.[86]It may also arise from autonomous nervous system impairment.[medical citation needed]
