heart rates

Beats per minute

Heart rates is the plural of heart rate—the number of times the heart beats per minute.

Normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute.

Athletes often have lower resting rates.

Doctors monitor heart rates to assess cardiovascular health: The nurses checked heart rates every hour.

Exercise, stress, and medication all affect heart rates.
