Fitness Heart Rate Monitors

Posts Tagged ‘beats per minute’

Hi. I’m a 34yr old male who has always been active and fit, classic ectomorph. I recently purchased a heart rate monitor for training purposes and my beats per minute after a tempo run makes me wonder if I could be over doing it, or if I’m just very fit and on the right track. I’m on a 16 week 1/2 marathon program from runners world that includes running three times a week; easy, speed, long. When I do my tempo runs I really push myself to achieve the stated goals. My effort level would be about an 8 out of 10, Yes/No questions I could answer, no conversation. After the run I feel euphoric and great, and within a minute or so my heart rate is back to a normal level. Then next day I feel fine. My resting pulse is around 44 beats per minute (bpm). My goal is to eventually qualify for the Boston marathon.

Thanks for any input.

Here are my mile splits from the last run.
Mile Minutes Avg bpm Max bpm
1 00:07:10 174 183
2 00:07:13 185 190
3 00:07:16 191 192
4 00:07:11 195 198
Summary 00:28:50 186 198
comfortably finished my 1st marathon in a 9:15 pace a few years ago. Could easily cover 13.1m in a 8:30 pace today. Goal is to get faster without causing damage.

I understand that Mr SUPERSTARDJ01 attended for an ambulatory blood pressure monitor on 7 August 2009. His clinic blood pressure reading was 141/83, pulse rate 39 beats per minute. The ECG showed bradycardia at the rate of 40 beats per minute likely to be junctional rhythm as no P waves were seen on the trace. We have attempted fitting him with an ambulatory blood pressure monitor but the monitor was unable to take his readings in view of the significant bradycardia. I trust that we need to investigate Mr SUPERSTARDJ01’s cardiac rhythm as he may have higher degree heart block and may require cardiac pacing. It is possible that his blood pressure readings may be high due to the bradycardia causing larger stroke volume. We will attempt to make contact with him in the near future for the monitor but he should report any occurrence of dizziness, faints or blackouts. Thank you for your referral.

I am felling hot/hot flushes, getting palpitations and having difficulties breathing so the doc has given me an inhaler for now while I wait for the results of the mobile ECG.

Additional Details
Further to my recent letter regarding Mr SUPERSTARDJ01. He has now had a 24-hour ECG that was done on 17 August 2009. It showed extreme bradycardia with a mean heart rate of 38 beats per minute, maximum heart rate 85 beats per minute around 6:35 a.m., minimum heart rate 28 beats per minute around 8:50 p.m. The trace shows extreme bradycardia with probably no atrial activity seen, probable atrial standstill with junctional rhythm or complete heart block. The heart accelerated to 85 beats per minute only briefly around 6 a.m. We have not detected atrial fibrillation or wide complex tachycardia. The accompanying diary reports occurrence of palpitations, the feeling of missed beats, hot flushing and occasional shortness of breath. This extreme bradycardia may explain raised blood pressure readings in view of the probable increased pulse pressure that is caused by the bradycardia. The maximum heart rate occurred at around 6 a.m., the accompanying diary reports lifting a freezer through the house at that time. The heart does not appear to accelerate during other activities. I will organise to review Mr SUPERSTARDJ01 clinically, discussed the result with him as he may require organising permanent pacemaker insertion

I am a 25 year old female and over the last few months my bp and pulse have been low. My normal BP was around 120/78 and resting pulse was always around the 70’s. Lately my bp has been 92/49with a pulse of 50. The Dr. sent me for a ECHO and Holter monitor. I’m not overweight or very active. Had back surgery a year ago and still inactive for now. Any help would be appreciated.

Minimal heart rate is 36 beats per minute, consistent with sinus bradycardia. Average heart rate is 57 beats per minute. Maximun heart rate was 135 beats per minute, consistent with sinus tachycardia. Nine percent of the time, the patient was tachycardia; 61% of the time the patient was bradycardic with a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute. 1.76 seconds was the longest R-R interval, indicating no significant pauses. There were no ventricular ectopy noted. There was 17 isolated premature atrial contractions noted, no ventricular tachycardia or supraventricular tachycardia noted. Thank you for replies.

I am 16 years old, and last night I used our home blood pressure monitor just out of curiosity. My blood pressure showed up to be 111/75, which I’m aware is in the normal range and nothing to worry about. My concern has to do with the fact that on that reading my pulse came up as 120 beats per minute. I sat for about five minutes and tried it again. My blood pressure was 109/60, with a pulse of 116. I tried it again tonight and my result was 119/79 with a pulse rate of 107. I had been sitting quietly for about ten minutes before, and was not worried about anything. I know that my blood pressure is in a perfectly normal and acceptable range, but is my heart rate something I should be concerned about?
