That is a very good question! I do not know the exact answer. Birds like sparrows have got very fast heart beats. The heart rate of the large animals like elephant is very slow. So it looks that the heart rate is proportional to the surface area of the body. Smaller the size, more the surface area. I am also curious to know the exact answer of this question.

Do childrens heart rates increase as they get older?

The previously posted answer to this question was as single word, "yes." This is incomplete, and for the most part incorrect. Referring to: http://www.pediatriccareonline.org/pco/ub/view/Pediatric-Drug-Lookup/153929/0/Normal_Heart_Rates It shows where childrens' heart rates decrease over time, except for the first two or so months of life. A newborn will, normally, have a heart rate ranging from 100 to 160, and averaging 123 beats per minute (bpm). The normal range for the adult heart rate is 60-100 bpm. Different sources will cite different numbers, but by and large, they are in the range of 100-160 for newborns. The 60-100 BPM for adults is a widely used range throughout the United States. Bear in mind, some athletes and people with small frames (thus lower metabolic needs) can have lower heart rates and still be very healthy.
