Heart rates very in different people depending on a number of factors like obesity, age, heart conditions, fitness level etc.

These factors effect how fast the blood must flow to get to the muscles. Also the different activities you are doing will change your heart rates.

Different people are in different types of health. Healthy people's heart beats about two times a second. in other situations an obese (not to sound rude) persons heart rate might murmer. a heart murmer is like

EX: (Murmer) doo-doo...doo...doo-doo...doo; basically skipping a beat

EX: (regular) doo-doo...doo-doo...doo-doo...doo-doo

*************************************************************

Skinny people have heart murmurs. The "normal" heart beats closer to once a second, about 60 to 80 bps (more or less).

mine beats in the high 50s. When I relax, it is in the low 50s. Some athletes are slower.

A large proportion of the population have heart murmurs. They are unaware it, and have no ill effects. None medical people have difficult time detecting a murmur.

I believe murmurs are caused by a very small amout of blood flowing backward threw a heart valve....No problem!!
