eco_metal33 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Is the number of heart beats fixed in a human being? Is there any theory or theories on this? Can anybody help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 No it isn´t. Otherwise, some babies dying in an early age must have had quite a rapid pulse. If you meant that there´s an individual fixed number: Yes. You live, then you die. And inbetween your heart made a certain finite number of beats.

YT2095 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 actualy that "theory" that the heart rate is directly related to lifespan was dissproven a very long time ago. also an infants heart rate is near double that of a mature adult anyway, and bears no relation to SIDS.

NPK Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 That's just a myth perpetuated by lazy people to justify their lack of exercise! (exercise --> more heart beats --> early death etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
