To diagnose the condition of the human body, there are many methods. Often, they are used by therapists or by the people themselves. These techniques allow, without conducting detailed diagnostics, to determine the current state of a person or to identify signs of certain diseases. One of these is the determination of the pulse. So, the normal pulse of an adult is in the range of 60-80 beats per minute. However, this is not always the norm for an adult. Any person has their own individual characteristics, which affects the number of heartbeats per minute.
These may be congenital diseases, especially the structure and structure of the body, life and so on. Because of this, the pulse of an adult can have an increase or slowdown. From medical terms it is known that a frequent pulse can characterize a disease of tachycardia. In turn, a rare pulse can occur with bradycardia. Naturally, this is bad, but not fatal, and people live with such parameters all their lives. Pay attention to the phrase "may mean" and "may have." Reflections and conclusions about the pulse can be made only in the case of a calm state of a person.
If a person performs any load: mental or physical; then the heart rate may change. This is the basis of the lie detector principle. If a person is experiencing - it is displayed on his pulse. If we talk about possible diseases, with a deviation of the pulse rate in adults, then you should know about the basic concepts that characterize the pulse as a phenomenon. Another factor is the age of the person. In newborns, the values of beats per minute range from 120-140. In older people, it can be overestimated or underestimated due to past illnesses, aging of the body and other factors.
If in infants a high pulse is due to the growth of the body, clean venous or arterial pathways and an accelerated metabolism, in the elderly it is only aging and disease. It should be understood that the heart rate depends on the resistance of the channels, the state of the blood, the elasticity of the walls of the channel and the amount of blood released (pulse). Consequently, the normal pulse of an adult in an absolutely healthy state will be within normal limits.
Speaking of diseases, one should also note the rhythm of the pulse. If the rhythm is good, then this is the normal pulse of an adult (about 60-80 beats), if the rhythm is uneven, then this is arrhythmia of the heart. The heart is a rather loaded organ of a person, which starts even before it is born and works until the last breath. Can you imagine at least one mechanism that works about as much? From the point of view of technology - this is unrealistic. But the heart is subject to various kinds of stresses that are different from the norm. Examples include stress, physical stress, or external factors.
Scientists note that if the ambient temperature rises by 1 degree Celsius, then the pulse increases by 8-10 beats on average. Therefore, each person should monitor their condition and environmental conditions. If something changes, then he must necessarily respond to it. To facilitate tracking of pulse activity, in our time there are many devices. These devices especially help sick people with dynamic tracking. Since it is of great importance to them.
The pulse has a certain set of characteristics that characterize the normal pulse of an adult or child. First of all, it can differ in venous, arterial and capillary. The difference is where it is determined: in veins, in arteries or capillaries, respectively. Naturally, in different places it will have different meanings, since there is a different section of the channel, a different impulse and different blood. An interesting fact is that the female normal pulse will be higher than the male. This is due only to the anatomy of different sexes.
There are also such heart rate parameters as:
- frequency - characterizes the number of strokes per unit of time;
- rhythm - constancy of beats - is expressed by the schedule;
- speed - impact quality - dynamics of pressure drop and increase;
- voltage - channel resistance and blood quality;
- filling - characterizes the work done by the heart.
