What measures the number of times the heart beats in a minute?
Heart Rate
The number of times the heart beats in a minute is measured by a physiological parameter known as heart rate. Heart rate is the number of heartbeats per unit of time, typically measured in beats per minute (bpm). A normal resting heart rate for adults is between 60 to 100 bpm. The heart rate can be measured manually by taking the pulse on the wrist or neck, or by using devices such as heart rate monitor and electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). Heart rate is an important indicator of cardiovascular health and can be used to determine the intensity of exercise, as well as diagnose and monitor certain medical conditions.
