1 A normal adult resting heart beat is between 60-100 heartbeats per minute. 2  Some experienced athletes may see their resting heartrate fall below 60 beats per minute. 3  Tachycardia refers to the heart beating too fast at rest-over 100 beats per minute.
Heart rate (HR) is the number of times the heart beats in one minute; normal rates are 60 to 100 beats per minute. Stroke volume (SV) is the amount of blood that the heart pumps out with each beat; the normal amount is 60 to 100 milliliters per beat. A stethoscope is a device that amplifies sounds.hen measuring someone's apical pulse, make sure the patient is rested before trying to count the apical pulse rate. Have the patient lie down and find the apex of the heart. Ask the patient to breathe through his or her nose with normal breaths.
