Hypothermia initially causes an increase in pulse rate as the body attempts to maintain adequate blood circulation and oxygen delivery to vital organs despite the drop in core temperature. The heart works harder to counteract the effects of cold, which can lead to an increased heart rate. However, as hypothermia progresses, the heart rate may eventually decrease due to impaired cardiac function and metabolic processes.
