What is the normal heart rate for adults?
Normally, the heart rate of adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. For people with better physical conditions, a slower heart rate is a normal phenomenon. However, when the heart rate falls below 60 or exceeds 100, it is necessary to monitor the heart rate to prevent bradycardia at night and tachycardia during the day. If necessary, medication can be used for intervention to bring the heart rate to a normal and healthy range.
The normal heart rate of adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, people with better physical conditions, such as athletes, tend to have a slower heart rate, usually between 50 and 60 beats per minute, which is normal. For some patients with weaker physical conditions, the heart rate may be slightly higher than 100 beats per minute.
Attention should be paid when the heart rate is not within the normal range. However, when the patient's heart rate falls below 60 beats per minute or exceeds 100 beats per minute, a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring should be performed routinely to identify the lowest and highest heart rates within 24 hours, avoiding bradycardia at night or tachycardia during daytime activities. At the same time, thyroid function tests should be conducted to exclude tachycardia and bradycardia caused by hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, and medication can be administered if necessary.
