This organ is a muscle the size of a fist, which controls the entire circulatory system of blood, pumping oxygenated blood throughout the body, writes "Focus". The heart can speed up or slow down depending on emotions and physical activity, as well as injury or illness. But in general, a healthy heart usually beats smoothly and reliably. How many heartbeats are there in a day and throughout a person's life?
Dr. Partho Sengupta, MD, chief of cardiovascular medicine at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Rutgers University in New Jersey, says there are many scenarios for how fast our heart beats throughout the day. Research shows that the heart rate even slows and speeds up by about 100 milliseconds every time we breathe in or out.
A person with an average heart rate of 70 beats per minute at rest will have 100 thousand 800 trophoblasts per day. In one year, that would be approximately 36.8 million, and over an average life span of 77.5 years, approximately 2.85 billion heartbeats.
Is there a limit to how many times our heart can beat? According to Dr. Sengupta, there are several factors that can impair the function of the heart, namely age, genetics, injuries, diseases.
