to measure heart rate one could use an electrocardiogram
the human body is mainly salty water and so it conducts electrisity. the electrical activiy which spreads across the heart aslo spreads outwards away from the heart. this causes the voltage of the skin to change slightly. these potential differences can be detected by a electrocardiogram at various parts of the body

Where in the body can heart rate be measured?
In your wrist or in your neck
What is radial heart rate?
A radial heart rate is one that is measured over the radial artery, which is easiest found in the wrist.
Is it possible to measure a snail's heart rate?
Yes , it can be measured .
What is a pulse rate and how it is measured?
It is the amount of heartbeats during a specific time period. So you can use a timer and listen (put your finger on your wrist is one way), it is usually measured in minutes, bpm means beats per minute.

Is heart rate measured after 1 minute or 2 minutes.?
the heart rate measured is after 1 minute.....example: 69 rat heart per minute
What is measured to alter your breathing rate?

The heart rate that not measured but calculated is called what?
The heart rate that is calculated rather than directly measured is known as the "estimated heart rate." This can be derived from various factors, such as age and physical activity, often using formulas like the Karvonen formula or the maximum heart rate formula (220 minus age). Calculated heart rates are commonly used in fitness assessments and training programs to determine target heart rate zones.
What's the difference between heart rate and blood pressure?
Heart rate refers to the number of times your heart beats per minute, while blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of your arteries. Heart rate is measured in beats per minute, while blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
What units are used to measure heart rate?
Heart rate is measured in units of reciprocal time ... beats per minute.'per minute' is equivalent to 'per 60 seconds', or [60 Hz] .
What is one pulse one?
If by pulse you mean heart rate, it is measured in number of beats per minute.
What is the difference between the resting heart rate and the working heart rate?
The resting heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute when you are at rest, typically measured in the morning before getting out of bed. In contrast, the working heart rate refers to the heart rate during physical activity or exercise, reflecting the increased demand for oxygen and nutrients by the muscles. While resting heart rate indicates overall cardiovascular fitness and health, the working heart rate can help assess exercise intensity and cardiovascular response during activity.
Will a heart rate be independent or dependent variable?
A heart rate is typically considered a dependent variable in experiments where it is measured in response to changes in another variable, such as exercise intensity or stress levels. In such cases, the heart rate changes based on the influence of the independent variable. However, if heart rate is the variable being manipulated or controlled, it would be the independent variable in that context.
