Heart rate at rest. Bradycardia is a slow heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm at rest. During sleep a slow heartbeat with rates around 40–50 bpm is common and is considered normal. When the heart is not beating in a regular pattern, this is referred to as an arrhythmia. Abnormalities of heart rate sometimes indicate disease. While heart rhythm is regulated entirely by the sinoatrial node under normal conditions, heart rate is regulated by sympathetic and parasympathetic input to the sinoatrial node. The accelerans nerve provides sympathetic input to the heart by releasing norepinephrine onto the cells of the sinoatrial node
Sentinel node list, can be simplified remarkably using a sentinel node to demarcate the beginning and end of the list. Following is a Python implementation of a circular doubly-linked list: Notice how the codice_13 method takes the node that will be displaced by the new node in the parameter codice_14. For appending to the left, this is the head of a non-empty list, while for appending to right, it is the tail. But because of how the linkage is setup to refer back to the sentinel, the code just works for empty lists as well, where codice_14 will be the sentinel node.
