In a normal heart, the rate of atrial contraction is the same as the rate of ventricular contraction. At rest, the frequency of the discharges originating from the SA node is low, and the heart beats at the lower range of normal (60 to 80 beats/minute). During exercise or excitement, ...

When a blood pressure reading is taken, two pressure levels are measured: systolic (the pressure during a heartbeat) and diastolic (the pressure between heartbeats). These measurements are typically recorded as one number over the other (e.g., 120/80 mmHg) with both values represented in mill...
While the two go hand in hand, they are different. Your heart rate is a measure of the number of times yourheart beatsin a minute. With each beat, your heart squeezes. That creates enough pressure to push blood out of your heart to the rest of your body through a network of arteries...
In medicine, the term pulse rate refers to the number of pulses generated by the heart’s activity in the blood vessels during a specific unit of time (usually one minute). As a rule, the pulse rate coincides with the heart rate. Various factors, such as exercise, stress or certain dise...
A normal heart rate for adults lies somewhere between 60 and 100 beats per minute (BPM), and varies based on age group and gender. Women's heart rates are about 2-7 BPM faster than men's on average. Generally speaking, you want to keep your resting heart rate as low as possible. On...
It’s how muchbloodyour heart pumps in 1 minute. Your doctor uses the measurement to see if you might haveheartproblems or to check how well a treatment works. Your blood carries oxygen and nutrients to your cells, and it takes away wastes like carbon dioxide. If your heart pumps too li...
So if you think this might be a practice that you’d like to try out, I’ve decided that if even one person wants to do the lovingkindness meditation with me, I’m going to host a 30 minute Zoom meeting weekly where we can practice together. In the first 10-15 minutes I’ll teac...
The normal heart rhythm, known as sinus rhythm, originates in specialized cardiac cells, called pacemaker cells, in the sino-atrial (SA) or sinus node and has been defined as a sinus node rate of 60 to 100 beats/minute. Each heart beat or contraction is initiated by generation of an ...
That’s completely up to you. While I’d love to say that the minute you enroll you will stop obsessing and you’ll never think about food again, that’s just not true. (In fact, if someone DOES promise this, back away and get the heck outta there!) ...
