| - Heart rate (HR) is the rate at which the heart beats expressed in beats per minute (BPM). Heart rate, along with stroke volume, is a primary determinant of cardiac output.
- Heart rate is an accurate measurement of intensity and exertion of exercise. A heart rate monitor is the easiest and most precise way to continuously measure one's heart rate. By understanding and monitoring the ideal heart-rate “zones” while training, one can consistently train at the targeted and optimum fitness levels. Knowing the work “zone” for heart rate prevents over-training, under-training, and encourages correct pacing. Heart rate monitors (HRM’s) can reveal various factors of fitness including: dehydration, running out of nutrition, or not recovered from a previous day’s workout.
- In 2371, during The Doctor's delusion on the USS Voyager's holodeck, he scanned himself and discovered he had a heart rate. (VOY: "Projections") In 2373, after scanning Lieutenant Tuvok in sickbay, The Doctor noted that his heart rate was at three hundred beats per minute after he was found to be suffering from a severe panic attack on the USS Voyager. It was recalling an apparent memory of a girl falling from a precipice triggered his accelerated heart rate. Tuvok's condition was later discovered to be caused by a memory virus unknowingly placed into his brain by his former crewmate on the USS Excelsior, Lieutenant Commander Dimitri Valtane shortly before he apparently died in 2293.

- Heart rate is considered one of the four vital signs. Usually it is calculated as the number of contractions (heart beats) of the heart in one minute and expressed as "beats per minute" (bpm). See "Heart" for information on embryofetal heart rates. The pulse is the most commonly used method of measuring the heart rate. This method may be inaccurate in cases of low cardiac output, as happens in some arrhythmias, where the heart rate may be considerably higher than the pulse rate.

Knowing the work “zone” for heart rate prevents over-training, under-training, and encourages correct pacing. Heart rate monitors (HRM’s) can reveal various factors of fitness including: dehydration, running out of nutrition, or not recovered from a previous day’s workout. Heart rate training has been utilized by top athletes in sports in order to improve training levels. To take advantage of the benefits a heart rate monitors, calculate the various work-rate “zones” including one's maximum heart rate (MHR) and resting heart rate (RHR). These zones differ depending on age, gender, and body weight. Knowing your zones guides your training and exertion levels during your workout. With these “zones” set, one can monitor improvement and efficiently while training.

- Heart rate is considered one of the four vital signs. Usually it is calculated as the number of contractions (heart beats) of the heart in one minute and expressed as "beats per minute" (bpm). See "Heart" for information on embryofetal heart rates. When resting, the average adult human heart beats at about 70 bpm (males) and 75 bpm (females); however, this rate varies among people and can be significantly lower in endurance athletes. The infant/neonatal rate of heartbeat is around 130-150 bpm, the toddler's about 100–130 bpm, the older child's about 90–110 bpm, and the adult's about 80–100 bpm. 75 beats per minute translates to 4500 beats an hour, 108,000 beats per day, or about 39,420,000 beats in a year. The pulse is the most commonly used method of measuring the heart rate. This method may be inaccurate in cases of low cardiac output, as happens in some arrhythmias, where the heart rate may be considerably higher than the pulse rate. Listening to heart beats using a stethoscope, a process known as auscultation, is a more accurate method of measuring the heart rate.
