PulseFrequency

Pulse frequency refers to the number of times a pulse wave occurs in a given period of time, typically measured in beats per minute (bpm). It is a fundamental parameter in the study of cardiovascular health and is often used to assess the heart rate. The pulse frequency is influenced by various factors, including physical activity, emotional state, and overall health. A normal resting pulse frequency for adults is generally between 60 and 100 bpm. However, this can vary depending on age, fitness level, and individual physiology. Abnormal pulse frequencies, such as those below 60 bpm (bradycardia) or above 100 bpm (tachycardia), may indicate underlying health issues and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Pulse frequency can be measured using a stethoscope, a pulse oximeter, or an electrocardiogram (ECG). Regular monitoring of pulse frequency can help in the early detection and management of cardiovascular conditions.
