Heart rate of 62 beats/min is in the range of normal heart rate. If the heart beat rhythm is neat and the ECG shows sinus P wave, it is generally normal; if the rhythm is not neat and the ECG suggests ectopic rhythm such as atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular block, etc., it is abnormal.
1. Normal: Normal heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute, but it needs to be combined with cardiac auscultation, electrocardiogram and other tests to determine whether it is sinus rhythm, whether the electrical impulse of the heart comes from the sinus node, and whether the rhythm of the heart is regular. If the rhythm is regular, the electrocardiogram shows sinus P-wave, and the heart rate is 62 beats/minute, it is generally normal.
2. Abnormal: If the heart rate is 62 beats/minute, but the rhythm is not regular, the ECG suggests ectopic rhythm such as atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular block, premature beats, etc., this is abnormal.
A heart rate of less than 60 beats/min is considered bradycardia, and a heart rate of more than 100 beats/min is considered tachycardia. If the patient’s heart rate is 62 beats/minute, with irregular rhythm, accompanied by panic and other discomforts, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
