südamelöökide

Südamelöökide, known in English as heartbeats or heartbeats per minute (BPM), refers to the number of times a person's heart beats in a minute. This is a fundamental indicator of cardiovascular health and the body's metabolic state. A normal resting heart rate for adults typically ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Factors such as age, fitness level, body size, medication, and emotional state can influence an individual's heart rate. For example, athletes often have lower resting heart rates due to improved cardiovascular efficiency. Conversely, stress, fever, or illness can temporarily elevate the heart rate.

Abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias, can manifest as heartbeats that are too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregular. Persistent deviations from the normal range, especially when accompanied by symptoms like dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, may warrant medical attention. Monitoring heart rate can be done manually by feeling the pulse or with electronic devices like heart rate monitors and smartwatches. Understanding one's own heart rate and its typical variations is an important aspect of self-monitoring health.
