In physiology, the heart rate is "the number of times the heart ventricles contract per unit of time, usually per minute."[1] This may have to be presented as an average in the presence of arrythmias, such as heart block, when some contractions are missed.
Bradycardia is the condition in which the heart rate is below normal; in tachycardia, it is above normal.
In pharmacology, a drug's affect on heart rate may be predictive of the drugs:
- Benefit in treating
- Heart failure[2]
- Myocardial infarction [3]
- Harm in treating
- Conflicting evidence for perioperative care suggesting both harm[5] and, in a more complicated analysis that transformed variable and used both mean and maximum heart rates, benefit[6].
