Introduction:

A continuous contraction as well as the relaxation of the heart chambers give rise to the heartbeat, which can be recorded as pulse rate. The normal pulse rate ranges in between 50-90 bpm (beats per minute). This range may vary depending on the physical condition of the body. The condition that results in an abnormal heartbeat is known as arrhythmia.
