1. Different meanings

Ventricular rate is the number of beats of the ventricle per minute, atrial rate is the number of beats of the atrium per minute, and heart rate is the number of beats of the heart per minute.

2. They describe different things

Atrial rate and ventricular rate are not terms used only in pathological conditions. The heart of a normal person is always beating rhythmically, and the part that controls the rhythmic beating of the heart is the sinoatrial node of the heart.

Heart rate is generally 60 to 100 beats/min, which may vary among individuals due to age, gender or other physiological factors. Generally speaking, the younger you are, the faster your heart rate is. The heartbeat of older people is slower than that of young people, and the heart rate of women is faster than that of men of the same age. These are normal physiological phenomena. In a quiet state, the normal heart rate for adults is 60 to 100 beats/minute, and the ideal heart rate should be 55 to 70 beats/minute (the heart rate of athletes is slower than that of ordinary adults, generally around 50 beats/minute).

Daily health care

Rapid heart rate endangers health, shortens lifespan, and increases the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases. How to keep your resting heart rate at about 60 beats/minute:

1. Exercise

Regularly participating in various types of exercise of appropriate intensity will slow down your resting heart rate. Although the heart rate increases during exercise, exercise can exercise heart function and slow down the resting heart rate. Generally, the appropriate exercise heart rate is "170-age". For example, for a 50-year-old person, the exercise heart rate should be controlled at 120 beats/minute. If it is too fast, it means that the amount of exercise is too large, which will not achieve the desired effect and will not be effective. Before exercise, you should be consciously comfortable and have no feeling of fatigue. Generally, exercise should not exceed 1 hour, and the optimal time is 30 to 60 minutes each time. Exercise at least 3 times a week.

2. Correct bad lifestyle

Staying late, smoking, and drinking can increase the resting heart rate. Drink less strong tea, especially before going to bed, otherwise it will easily lead to insomnia. You should also defecate regularly to keep bowel movements smooth.

3. Maintain an appropriate weight

Obesity will increase the burden on the heart and accelerate the heart rate. Therefore, obese people must maintain an appropriate weight through fitness exercises and diet adjustment.

4. Keep a calm mind

Be calm in life and don’t be anxious or angry all the time. If your heart rate is too fast due to tension or anger, you can listen to music and meditate. and so on to gradually restore calm.

5. Drug treatment

Some diseases such as high blood pressure and coronary heart disease cause accelerated heart rate. Drugs can be taken according to the doctor's advice to slow down the heart rate, protect the heart, and reduce and control myocardial infarction. ischemic events, improve cardiac function, and prolong life.
