The apex beat (lat. ictus cordis ), also called the apical impulse, [1] is the pulse felt at the point of maximum impulse ( PMI ), which is the point on the precordium farthest outwards (laterally) and downwards (inferiorly) from the sternum at which the cardiac impulse can be felt. The cardiac impulse is the vibration resulting from the heart ...
A typical resting pulse rate for adults is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm). Depending on your activity, your rate can be higher or lower. But, a heart rate of over 100 bmp that occurs ...
Children have a higher resting pulse rate than adults. The normal resting pulse ranges for children are as follows: newborn: 100–170 bpm; 6 months to 1 year: 90–130 bpm; 2 to 3 years: 80–120 bpm
High output also can happen when your body lacks enough oxygen-carrying red blood cells, a condition called anemia. That makes your heart pump more blood faster. Another common cause is ...
The American Heart Association states the normal resting adult human heart rate is 60–100 bpm. An ultra-trained athlete would have a resting heart rate of 37–38 bpm. [3] Tachycardia is a high heart rate, defined as above 100 bpm at rest. [4] Bradycardia is a low heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm at rest.
A healthy heart rate for adults over 18 is usually between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm). Your number may vary. The best time to measure your resting heart rate is just after you wake up in ...

A young, healthy athlete may have a heart rate of 30 to 40 bpm. That’s because exercise strengthens the heart muscle. It allows it to pump a greater amount of blood with each heartbeat. More ...
