Heart monitor said basic rhythm is sinus rhythm with a mean heart rate of 80 beats per min.minimum 5

The answer to that question is kind of complicated if you have no knowledge of cardiac rhythms and reading ECGs (Electrocardiograms). I%26#039;ll try to simplify it. :)

The heart monitor measures the flow of electricity through the heart. The electricity is what causes the hart to contract in just the right rhythm to pump blood the best.

There are a number of different cardiac rhythms. Some may not cause a problem, some are lethal, but only one is the rhythm in which the heart is able to pump blood the best. This is called a %26quot;Sinus Rhythm.%26quot; Its called this because the pace of the heart rate is controlled by the SA Node (sinoatrial node) of the heart. A sinus rhythm is known as a %26quot;normal%26quot; heart rhythm. The rate of SR is between 60 and 100 beats per minute.

A rate greater than 100 is called tachycardia. A rate less than 80 is called bradycardia. The rate you are seeing is an odd range. Usually a heart rate less than 52 or greater than 135 will diminish the heart%26#039;s rate to pump blood effectively and may cause symptoms.

this only tells what you wrote, the cardiologist has to comment on how the rythm looks like and if one should be concerned about it, feel free to email for more questions

Heart monitor said basic rhythm is sinus rhythm with a mean heart rate of 80 beats per min.minimum 52 max.135

the heart has a normal heart beat, the mean or average rate is 80 which is textbook normal using numbers 52 and 135 I am not sure if these are the only numbers or just the highest and lowest used add the numbers divivde by 2 or the totoal numbers used and there is your average or mean your heart goes faster and slower throughout the day based on activity and emotion and is never perfectly bewating 24 hours a day, like you blood pressure it can shoot up to 200 /100 while you are angry and go back down, the issues come when the abnormals are sustained and chronic

a normal rhythm is a sinus rhythn. A normal rate is between 60 and 100. However the rate can exceed 100 with exercise or stress. Ask your Dr.

Is there a devise that will monitor your heart rate and send a signal to help if your heart rate slo

a pacemaker

Is there a devise that will monitor your heart rate and send a signal to help if your heart rate slows or stop

Yes for adults it is called a halter monitor and they have you wear one to find out if you are having any problems. For a baby they have the alarm the sounds if the child stops breathing if it a baby that is prone to SIDS such as one born premature.

Yes it is called a pacemakeer. Usually they only install thest after you have a heart attack, it helps prevent another one

Is there a devise that will monitor your heart rate and send a signal to help if your heart rate slows or stop

a pacemaker. it doesn%26#039;t send a signal, more like an electric jolt/pulse to the heart to %26quot;pick up the pace%26quot;

Is there a devise that will monitor your heart rate and send a signal to help if your heart rate slows or stop

It%26#039;s called a pacemaker. There is also an internally implanted defibrillator that will automatically shock the heart if it goes into certain rythms.

Is there a devise that will monitor your heart rate and send a signal to help if your heart rate slows or stop

Yes, its called a %26quot;pace-maker%26quot;. Drs. implant this devise to regulate an irregular heart beat not because of a heart attack

Is there a devise that will monitor your heart rate and send a signal to help if your heart rate slows or stop

A pacemaker monitors the heart for slowing continuously and emits an electrical impulse to stimulate the heart to contract if the heart slows below a certain set point.

Some of the newer pacemakers, but not all, can send messages to physicians. Most of the newer monitoring by a pacer and the message sent concerns indicators of decompensation of congestive heart failure, and not cessation of cardiac activity.

Is there a devise that will monitor your heart rate and send a signal to help if your heart rate slows or stop

Yes...it%26#039;s called a pacemaker. There are even devices that will shock your heart if it has a bad rhythm. They are called Implanted Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD). They%26#039;re making them now that send a signal by satellite to your doctor when the ICD shocks you.

Fetal heart rate varies?

Hey everyone...i just turned 38 weeks pregnant today! Yesturday my doc sent me to the hospital due to high blood pressure. Luckily after bed rest within an hr, my blood pressure went down. Anyway, they straped fetal heart rate monitors to my belly to monitor the baby%26#039;s heart beat. My baby boy%26#039;s heart rate was jumpin all over the place! It was anywhere between 130-160, mainly around 140 something. My question is, is that normal for the baby%26#039;s heart beat to jump all around and not to be set on one heart rate number. The nurse there that was taking care of me said that a baby%26#039;s heart rate that jumps around is good instead of one that stays the same. Is this true? Thanks!!

Fetal heart rate varies?

yes its normal for the fetus heart to varied, The fetus could be sleep.

And the same for us adults or heart rate varies also. it goes slower when were laying on our back goes normal fast when laying on your left side

Fetal heart rate varies?

When the baby moves it%26#039;s heart rate goes up. Just like if you were to start jogging, or walk really fast, yours would go up. When they become active, their heart rate should go up!! So it is completley normal.

*************You don%26#039;t feel EVERY movement that your baby makes, even this late in pregnancy. So even the little movement that you don%26#039;t feel makes the heart rate increase!!! You shouldn%26#039;t worry, if the nurses didn%26#039;t seem concerned than you are fine.

Good Luck!!!

Fetal heart rate varies?

Yeess,

this is normal. Your baby probably was very active and moving around. So at times the doppler wasn%26#039;t able to capture a beat or two. Worry when heart beat is below 80 and above 180 when tracing it. 130-160 is normal, very healthy. Also at 38 weeks you could be contracting already making the heartbeat go up and down.

Congrats on the soon new arrival!!!

High resting heart rate in fit 37 yo, no caffeine. Why so high?

I am a 37 yo female.

I walk (brisk) 45-90 minutes 5-7 days a week, do strength training 3x/week.

My resting heart rate before getting out of bed this morning was 81. My sitting heart rate is around 90. Avg HR during brisk treadmill walk last night was 135, max HR during walk was 167. An hour after my walk, my HR was still around 100.

Readings are not taken near sugar intake. I do not consume any caffeine. I am a healthy weight (121 at 5%26#039; 4.75%26quot;). I wasn%26#039;t worried/anxious during the readings either.

I don%26#039;t know what my readings were previously. I just got a heart rate monitor and so only now have checked. I double checked with my pulse to confirm that monitor is correct. Yes, I do know how to take an accurate pulse.

I could understand a higher HR if I was older, overweight, out-of-shape, anxious, taking in stimulants, or using a faulty heart rate monitor.

But why is mine so high?

Thanks,

Tamara

High resting heart rate in fit 37 yo, no caffeine. Why so high?

You should talk to your doctor about this. He can do a physical exam, EKG, and maybe some lab work.

We can make guesses here about endocrine, heart, lung, neurological, diet, etc problems. They mean little without a professional evaluation.

Lowering heart rate (jogging)?

When I jog my heart rate seems to get high quick. For example, today I was walking at 3.0 mph (on a treadmill) with my heart rate ranging from 85-105. However, when I raised the speed to 4.6 my heart rate quickly jumps up to 150,160, and even got up to 192 according to my heart rate monitor. Previous days I have tried speeds of 5.2, and 6.0 with similar heart rate results. I am 21 year old male, so my max heart rate is supposed to be around 195-199, thus I stopped because I thought this would not be safe. I weigh 193lbs, and I am not in that good of shape.

Currently I am walking for an hour at a speed of 3.5mph 4,5 times a week. And I am also doing some weight training 2,3 times a week.

Are there any other exercises that I can do (preferabbly at home) that will help lower my heart rate? Or should I just avoid jogging until I am in better shape?

Thanks.

Lowering heart rate (jogging)?

I would suggest doing some circuit training on the treadmill. The heart is a muscle like other muscles in your body and needs to be trained. Doing 1 minute circuits with 2 minutes rest at 85% of your max heart rate will strengthen your heart quicker than doing steady state cardio like walking or running at the same pace for long distances. You may also try adjusting the incline on the treadmill instead of running. Just make sure you change it up often and dont get stuck doing the exact same thing every day. I have a friend that has been running 5 miles a day for 10 years and he is actually gaining weight right now because his body is so accustomed to doing the same thing that he is no longer getting results from the run. Change, change, change always!!

Lowering heart rate (jogging)?

Actually jogging is very good for you, unless of course you have a medical condition and the physician tells you otherwise. Heres the thing, if you have a sedentary life style chances are you will have a heart rate of around 80-120 AT REST and shoots up when you perform strenuous activities, this is because your heart is not efficient. But, if you have an active life style it%26#039;s pretty normal to have a lower heart rate at rest and during activities because your heart is efficient. Aside from that there are a lot of other factors that contribute to your heart rate including diet.

So you see, it%26#039;s better to take things slow for a while and then work it up from there. I%26#039;m guessing that your not much of an active person and that probably contributes to why your heart rate shoots up even if you%26#039;re just doing 4.6mph walk. Your heart is not used to it, that%26#039;s it.

My advice is start from 3mph and slowly increase the speed. Like 3mph for 2weeks or so, then increase it to 4mph and so on. Remember rapid changes in your activity is not good for the body.

Lowering heart rate (jogging)?

Heart rate quickens as a response to increase the cardiac output when we are exercising (HR x Stroke volume = output). Age, fitness level, genetics, level of hydration, underlying illness and environment are but a few factors that can affect overall cardiac fitness. As you continue to do aerobic exercise in moderation (with a careful watch of the 70% max heart rate limit), your heart will become more proficient in pumping blood per beat, and hence your heart rate will decrease during activity, with a noticable difference as early as 4 weeks. Alternating walk/jog may be helpful, as will cycling, stairclimbers or elliptical trainers. Unfortunately, weight training will not improve your aerobic capacity much, but building muscle mass will increase your metabolism and burn calories. Good luck.
