Heart rate refers to the number of times a person's heart beats per minute (bpm).
It is a measure of how fast or slow the heart is working to pump blood throughout the body.
The heart rate can vary depending on factors such as physical activity, stress, illness, and medication.
A resting heart rate of 60-100 bpm is considered normal for adults, but this can vary based on age, fitness level, and other individual factors.
Monitoring heart rate can be useful for assessing cardiovascular health and fitness, and may be done using various methods including manual palpation, wearable devices, or medical equipment.
