What is the normal heart rate of an adult at rest?
A
20 to 40
B
50 to 60
C
60 to 100
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats per minute.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the electrical signals reach the ventricles, the chambers contract and pump blood to the lungs or to the rest of the body. In a typical heart, this heart signaling process usually goes smoothly, resulting in a resting heart rate of 60 to 100 beats a minute.

Detailed explanation-3: -The normal range is between 50 and 100 beats per minute. If your resting heart rate is above 100, it’s called tachycardia; below 60, and it’s called bradycardia. Increasingly, experts pin an ideal resting heart rate at between 50 to 70 beats per minute.
