The normal range of heart rate in older adults is 60 to 100 beats/minute.
Normal adult heart rate is 60~100 beats/min, less than 60 beats/min is called bradycardia, more than 100 beats/min is called tachycardia. A normal heart rate can effectively ensure the heart’s output per minute and maintain normal blood circulation in the body.
For some older people, a slightly slower heart rate is a common physiological phenomenon due to age-related cardiovascular changes and does not require treatment. If the heart rate of the elderly is lower than 60 beats per minute, combined with low blood pressure and symptoms such as blackout and syncope, it is necessary to pay attention to it, and can be regularly performed dynamic electrocardiography and cardiac ultrasound, and if necessary, give pacemakers and other interventions.
If the elderly find abnormal heart rate, they should go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying their condition.
