  2. Cardiac pacemaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_pacemaker

    The left and right bundle branches, and the Purkinje fibers, will also produce a spontaneous action potential at a rate of 30–40 beats per minute, so if the SA and AV node both fail to function, these cells can become pacemakers. These cells will be initiating action potentials and contraction at a much lower rate than the primary or ...

  3. Heart rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate

    The maximum heart rate (HR max) is the age-related highest number of beats per minute of the heart when reaching a point of exhaustion [28] [29] without severe problems through exercise stress. [30] In general it is loosely estimated as 220 minus one's age. [ 31 ]

  4. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postural_orthostatic...

    In adults, the primary manifestation is an increase in heart rate of more than 30 beats per minute within ten minutes of standing up. [1] [34] The resulting heart rate is typically more than 120 beats per minute. [1] For people between ages 12 and 19, the minimum increase for a POTS diagnosis is 40 beats per minute. [35]

    The condition is generally diagnosed when a patient’s heart rate increases by at least 30 beats per minute (or 40 bpm in adolescents) within 10 minutes of standing, without a significant drop in ...

  6. Vital signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vital_signs

    The pulse is the rate at which the heart beats while pumping blood through the arteries, recorded as beats per minute (bpm). [11] It may also be called "heart rate". In addition to providing the heart rate, the pulse should also be evaluated for strength and obvious rhythm abnormalities. [11] The pulse is commonly taken at the wrist (radial ...

  7. Tempo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempo

    For example, a tempo of 60 beats per minute signifies one beat per second, while a tempo of 120 beats per minute is twice as rapid, signifying two beats every second. The note value of a beat will typically be that indicated by the denominator of the time signature. For instance, in 4 4 time, the beat will be a crotchet, or quarter note.

  8. Cardiac output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_output

    Major factors influencing cardiac output – heart rate and stroke volume, both of which are variable. [1]In cardiac physiology, cardiac output (CO), also known as heart output and often denoted by the symbols , ˙, or ˙, [2] is the volumetric flow rate of the heart's pumping output: that is, the volume of blood being pumped by a single ventricle of the heart, per unit time (usually measured ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Waltz

    International Standard Waltz is a waltz dance and danced to slow waltz music, preferably 28 to 30 bars per minute (84 to 90 beats per minute). [1] [2] Waltz music is in 3/4 time and the first beat of a measure is strongly accented. [3]
