The ideal resting heart rate for a 47-year-old male is typically between 60-100 beats per minute. A lower resting heart rate is generally considered healthier as it indicates a strong cardiovascular system. Regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle can help lower resting heart rate.
Some highly trained athlete's heart rates can drop into the low 30s but most people are between 45 and 60. Usually figure about 10% lower than your resting heart rate
AutorhythmicityThe heart is made of tissue that is specific to the cardiac muscle. The beating of the heart, in most healthy individuals, intrinsically arises in the SA (sino atrial node) in the upper right chamber of the heart. A normal resting heart rate is commonly considered to be between 60 and 100 beats per minute. In some very well trained athletes or in periods of meditation a normal resting heart rate may be less than 60.
60-100 beats per minute is a normal resting heart rate for most individuals.
To be considered normal, an individual needs to have a systolic pressure less than 120, and a diastolic pressure under 80, or 120/80 mmHg.Prehypertension is classified as 120-139/80-89.High blood pressure stage 1 is 140-159/90-99.High blood pressure stage 2 is 160+/100+.As for heart rate, a normal individual has a resting heart rate within 60-100 bpm.
According to the NHS, most adults have a resting heart rate between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm). A general rule is that the fitter you are, the lower your resting heart rate is likely to be. For athletes - or people who often perform cardiovascular activity - a normal resting heart rate may be closer to 40 beats a minute.If your your heart rate is continuously above 120 bpm or below 40 bpm you should consult a doctor.Your resting heart rate range will also vary by age and gender therefore for more information - refer related link.

Heart rate helps determine a person's state of health. If you body is under stress, either psychological or physical, your heart rate will increase. Knowing what your normal heart rate is can help you determine your healthy resting heart rate and also a good "target heart rate" which is a range of beats per minute you need to reach in order to get an effective cardiovascular workout. Also, being able to compare past and present resting heart rates can help you keep track of your heart health. Heart disease or high blood pressure can also effect heart rate. Heart rate is so simple to take from a patient, and holds so much telling information.
For most people a resting heart rate of 57 is fine. Medical guidelines put "normal" resting pulse (heart) rates at 60-100 BPM. 3 points off is nothing to worry about. Young, healthy, athletic individuals tend to have lower resting heart rates, than other folks. Some medications, such as digitalis, will slow the heart rate. People on medications used to specifically slow the heart rate usually use "60" as a cut off for holding such medicines.
For the most part, yes. Your bpm ([heart] beats per minute) is how your heart beat is usually measured. A resting heart rate lower than about 72 bpm is considered healthy. You can lower your bpm by exercising regularly. However, a heart beat of 0 bpm means your dead, which isn't healthy.
The normal resting heart rate for an adult human is in the 65-75 range. a resting rate of 47 is not a low resting heart rate as long as you are very fit. The heart is a muscle and the more you exercise it the stronger it becomes. The stronger your heart is the more blood it pumps with each contraction, so it does not have to pump as rapidly. People who are very fit that have resting heart rates in the 40-50 range.
