Is a heart rate of 59 normal for a woman?

Normally, an adult's heart rate at rest is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Of course, if it is slightly higher or lower than the normal range, there will be no impact. Therefore, if a woman's heart rate is 59, it is a relatively normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. Below, we will give you a detailed introduction to the normal value and calculation method of adult heart rate.

1. What is the normal range of heart rate for adults during exercise?

Heart Rate: refers to the number of times the heart beats per minute, based on the first sound. Usually we use the pulse count to calculate the heart rate.

The average mental rhythm of a normal adult in a quiet state is about 75 times/minute (between 60 and 100 times/minute). Heart rate can vary depending on age, gender and other physiological conditions, with women generally having a slightly faster heart rate than men. For the same person, the heart rate slows down when he is quiet or sleeping, and speeds up when he is exercising or emotionally excited. People who regularly engage in physical labor and exercise have a slower heart rate at rest because the heart's pumping volume increases with each beat.

Exercise will increase heart rate, and the extent of the increase in heart rate is usually used as a reference for judging exercise intensity. A simple way to measure your exercise heart rate is to take your pulse immediately after exercise. Multiply the pulse rate for 10 seconds by 6 to get an approximate exercise heart rate number.

The reason why you don't take your pulse directly for one minute is that your heart rate will drop quickly after you stop exercising.

2. Calculation formula for normal range of exercise heart rate

Men's high heart rate = 205-age. Women's high heart rate = 220-age. Internationally, 220 - age is generally used as the maximum heart rate.

For ordinary exercisers, 60%~85% of the high heart rate is a suitable and effective exercise heart rate range.

For example, for a 20-year-old woman, her suitable exercise heart rate range is

(220-20)x60%~85%= 120~170

For most healthy adults, it is best to control the exercise heart rate within the range of 140-150.

3. What is the normal range of heart rate?

1. The heart rate of an adult exceeds 100 beats per minute (generally no more than

160 beats/min) or more than 150 beats/min in infants and young children is called sinus tachycardia. It is common in normal people after exercise, excitement, agitation, smoking, drinking and strong tea. It can also be seen in fever, shock, anemia, hyperthyroidism, heart failure and the use of atropine, epinephrine, ephedrine, etc.

2. If the heart rate is between 160 and 220 beats per minute, it is often called paroxysmal tachycardia.

3. A heart rate lower than 60 beats/minute (generally above 40 beats/minute) is called sinus bradycardia. It can be seen in people who engage in heavy physical labor for a long time and in athletes; pathologically, it can be seen in hypothyroidism, increased intracranial pressure, obstructive jaundice, and overdose or poisoning of digitalis, quinidine, or propranolol.

4. If the heart rate is lower than 40 beats/min, atrioventricular block should be considered.

5. A heart rate that is too fast, exceeding 160 beats/minute, or less than 40 beats/minute, is mostly seen in patients with heart disease. Patients often experience palpitations, chest tightness, and discomfort in the precordial area. A detailed examination should be conducted as soon as possible so that treatment can be targeted at the cause.
