Heart Rate | Community Health

Heart rate is the frequency of the heartbeat, typically measured in beats per minute (bpm), and is influenced by various factors including genetics, physical fitness, and stress levels. A normal resting adult heart rate is between 60-100 bpm, while athletes may have a lower resting heart rate. Abnormal heart rates, such as tachycardia (above 100 bpm) and bradycardia (below 60 bpm), can be indicative of underlying health issues.
