heartrate

Beats per minute

Heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute, a basic measure of cardiovascular function.

Resting heart rate indicates fitness level—lower generally means healthier.

Heart rate rises with exercise, stress, or excitement: My heart rate spiked when I saw the bill.

Also spelled as two words: heart rate.
