How many beats per minute is the best? The cardiologist gives you an accurate answer.

The faster the heartbeat, the stronger the heart!

The slower the heartbeat, the stronger the heart! ?

Which view is right? To put it simply, it is normal for our heart to jump a few times per minute, and it is better to jump a few times.

Our book says that a normal person's heartbeat is 60- 100 times a minute, but it's not that simple. On the one hand, this reference value refers to when we are at rest. For a simple example, when we run, our heart rate must be faster than this. If our heart rate is not fast when we run, it means there is something wrong. When we exercise, our heart rate can reach 220 years old. When we are asleep, or in deep sleep, the slower the heartbeat, the better, sometimes as slow as 40 times. So you can't simply say that your heart rate is 60- 100. To put it simply, our heartbeat is fast when it is fast and slow when it is slow. For example, you can sleep 50 times slower, run faster 180 and so on.

According to a research report published in the British medical journal Open Heart, compared with people with a heart rate of about 55, men with a heart rate higher than 75 are twice as likely to die, suffer from cardiovascular disease or coronary heart disease. Since 1993, the risks of death, cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease have increased by 3%, 1% and 2% respectively. The death rate of people whose heartbeat exceeds 100 per minute is much higher than that of people with slow heartbeat. Flaaming Han, the most famous epidemiological survey in the United States, followed up the people aged 35-84 for 26 years. It showed that with the rapid heartbeat, the mortality rate showed an obvious upward trend, especially for men.

These studies tell us that it is best to have a relatively slow heart rate when we are quiet. Although 50- 100 beat is normal, about 60 beat is ideal. Of course, it has something to do with birth. Some people are born with a fast heartbeat, as long as they don't have basic heart disease, they don't exceed 90- 100 when they are quiet.

It is better for healthy people to slow down, so should cardiovascular patients slow down? Generally speaking, for cardiovascular patients at rest, such as patients with chronic heart failure, our ideal heart rate is 55-60 beats, and the ideal heart rate for patients with angina pectoris is about 60 beats. If the average heart rate of hypertensive patients is higher than 80, heart rate reduction treatment is also needed. In other words, it is best for cardiovascular patients to have a heartbeat close to 60 times. ?

In short, a normal person's heart beats slowly at rest and fast after exercise. When most people are quiet, it is ideal that the heartbeat is close to 60 beats per minute, but it is normal between 50- 100, but the closer to 100, the worse.

If you are worried about the need to bring a 24-hour Holter to see the fastest heart rate, the slowest heart rate and the average heart rate.
