Heart RRR in medicine and nursing means "regular (heart) rate and rhythm". In some hospitals, it may be an acceptable charting abbreviation but it may not be acceptable use in other hospitals. The main intention of charting, for both doctors and nurses, is to facilitate rapid and easy communication. Abbreviations can aid communication-- unless some parties do not know the meaning, in which case, it will hinder communication.
