Introduction
Rate of ventricular contraction generally in beats/min.
Pathology
- higher resting heart rate & lower heart rate variability are associated with functional decline in older adults[2]
* due to age-associated changes in the autonomic nervous system

Additional terms
- arterial pulse
- bradyarrhythmia (bradycardia)
- heart rate variability (HRV)
- tachyarrhythmia (tachycardia)
