The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute. As the heart pushes blood through the arteries, the arteries expand and contract with the flow of the blood. The normal pulse for healthy adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. The pulse rate may fluctuate and increase with exercise, illness, injury, and emotions. Females ages 12 and older, in general, tend to have faster heart rates than do males.
Normal resting heart rates range from 60â100 bpm. Bradycardia is 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.radycardia was defined as a heart rate less than 60 beats per minute when textbooks asserted that the normal range for heart rates was 60â100 BPM. The normal range has since been revised in textbooks to 50â90 BPM for a human at total rest.
