A normal sinus rhythm has a heart rate of how many BPM?

A normal sinus rhythm is characterized by a heart rate that ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute (BPM). This range is considered standard for adults and represents the electrical activity of the heart when it is operating properly, with the sinoatrial (SA) node generating impulses in a regular and rhythmic pattern.

This range is vital for ensuring adequate blood circulation and oxygen delivery throughout the body. A heart rate below 60 BPM is termed bradycardia, while a rate exceeding 100 BPM is known as tachycardia. Both of these conditions may suggest underlying health issues that need to be evaluated. Maintaining a heart rate within the normal sinus rhythm range is essential for efficient cardiovascular function.
