Normal resting heart rates range from 60 to 100 bpm. Īs water and blood are incompressible fluids, one of the physiological ways to deliver more blood to an organ is to increase heart rate. Therefore, stimulation of the accelerans nerve increases heart rate, while stimulation of the vagus nerve decreases it. The accelerans nerve provides sympathetic input to the heart by releasing norepinephrine onto the cells of the sinoatrial node (SA node), and the vagus nerve provides parasympathetic input to the heart by releasing acetylcholine onto sinoatrial node cells. While heart rhythm is regulated entirely by the sinoatrial node under normal conditions, heart rate is regulated by sympathetic and parasympathetic input to the sinoatrial node.

When the heart is not beating in a regular pattern, this is referred to as an arrhythmia. When a human sleeps, a heartbeat with rates around 40–50 bpm is common and is considered normal. Bradycardia is a low heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm at rest. Tachycardia is a high heart rate, defined as above 100 bpm at rest. The American Heart Association states the normal resting adult human heart rate is 60–100 bpm. It is usually equal or close to the pulse measured at any peripheral point. The heart rate can vary according to the body's physical needs, including the need to absorb oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide, but is also modulated by numerous factors, including, but not limited to, genetics, physical fitness, stress or psychological status, diet, drugs, hormonal status, environment, and disease/illness as well as the interaction between and among these factors. Heart rate (or pulse rate) is the frequency of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions (beats) of the heart per minute (bpm). Speed of the heartbeat, measured in beats per minute
