How fit are you? See how you measure up - Mayo Clinic The target heart rate zone is a heart rate range that gives your heart and lungs a good workout This zone ranges from 50% to 85% of the maximum heart rate (MHR) for your age Aim for 50% to 70% of MHR when you do moderately intense activities and 70% to 85% of MHR when you do vigorous activities
Exercise intensity: How to measure it - Mayo Clinic The maximum heart rate is 176 5 Next, check your resting heart rate first thing in the morning Say it's 80 beats per minute Calculate your HRR by subtracting 80 from 176 5 Your HRR is 96 5 Multiply 96 5 by 0 7 (70 percnt;) to get 67 5, then add your resting heart rate of 80 to get 147 5 This is your target heart rate at 70 percnt; intensity
Blood pressure chart: What your reading means - Mayo Clinic The top number measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats Bottom number, called diastolic pressure The bottom number measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association divide blood pressure into four general categories
Bradycardia - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic Bradycardia (brad-e-KAHR-dee-uh) is a slow heart rate The hearts of adults at rest usually beat between 60 and 100 times a minute If you have bradycardia, your heart beats fewer than 60 times a minute Bradycardia can be a serious problem if the heart rate is very slow and the heart can't pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the body
Tachycardia - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic In a healthy heart, this signaling process usually goes smoothly The resting heart rate is typically 60 to 100 beats a minute But in tachycardia, something causes the heart to beat faster than 100 beats a minute Risk factors In general, things that may raise the risk of irregular heart rhythms that commonly cause tachycardia include
Pulse pressure: An indicator of heart health? - Mayo Clinic So if the resting blood pressure is 120 80 mm Hg, the pulse pressure is 40 This is considered a healthy pulse pressure Generally, a pulse pressure greater than 40 mm Hg is unhealthy Checking your pulse pressure may help your care team predict your risk of heart and blood vessel events, such as heart attacks and strokes
Ejection fraction: An important heart test - Mayo Clinic The heart squeezes and relaxes When the heart squeezes, it pumps out — or ejects — blood from the two lower heart chambers, called ventricles When the heart relaxes, the ventricles refill with blood No matter how forceful the contraction, the heart can never pump all the blood out of a ventricle
How to take your pulse - Mayo Clinic A pulse is the heart rate It's the number of times the heart beats in one minute The pulse can be measured using the radial artery in the wrist or the carotid artery in the neck Heart rates vary from person to person Knowing your heart rate can help you gauge your heart health Take your pulse
Atrial fibrillation - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic In a healthy heart, this signaling process usually goes smoothly The resting heart rate is typically 60 to 100 beats a minute But in atrial fibrillation, the signals in the upper chambers of the heart are chaotic As a result, the upper chambers tremble or shake The AV node is flooded with signals trying to get through to the lower heart
