The best thing to do is get a list of potential models you might buy and go to Amazon.com and see what other users have had to say about them. This should really help you.

Straight from the American Heart Association page:  \n\nYour maximum heart rate is about 220 minus your age. The figures above are averages, so use them as general guidelines. Your target heart rate is between 50-75% of that number.  So, for example, if you are 30, your target heart is 95-142 beats per minute.

unsteady breathing. Breath slow and steady deep breaths and stay calm and you will keep you heart rate down. If youve ever watched a military movie where the soldiers sing to a beat while running use that it puts your whole body to a rhythm which keeps your body calm.

This sounds like Unstable Angina.  A normal heart rate can range between 50 and 80 beats per minute. The best way to take your pulse is to take your pointer finger and place it on the side of your neck. Relax and gently poke around until you feel the pukse. Count the number of beats for 30 seconds and multiply by two. This is your heart rate.  If you have pain in the chest or radiating down your arm, or if you feel as if someone is squeezing your chest and you can't breathe, you may be having a heart attack. Call 911 or have someone bring you to the nearest hospital for evaluation.

Here's an example of a healthy person's assessment. My rule of thumb is start at the head and cover each system.\n\nPt. appears stated age, well-groomed, no body odor. Alert and orientedx3. Conversation clear and appropriate. No headache. Eyes clear, no redness, swelling or discharge. External ocular muscles intact. No double vision or blurred vision noted. Gross auditory function intact; pt. responds appropriately to questions. Mucous membranes moist. S1 and S2 auscultated, no S3 or S4 noted.  No murmur. Pulse 72, regular at left radial. Peripheral pulses present, equal bilaterally and strong. BP 116/72. Skin pink, warm and dry. Resps. easy, effortless, quiet. No discharge from nose, no cough. Lungs auscultated, clear to bases. Bowel sounds auscultated to all 4 quadrants. Last BM this AM, soft, brown, formed. No nausea or vomiting. No pain on palpation of abdomen. No pain, urgency, or frequency of voiding noted. Urine is clear, yellow, no foul odor. Functional range of motion, no swelling or redness of joints. Pt. is pleasant, no voiced concerns.\n\nThis is more thorough than you usually see in practice, and there are abbreviations to make it shorter, but it's good practice to know what all goes into an assessment. Just write what you saw, heard, felt, smelled, and also what you didn't see. That way, it's known that something wasn't there, not just that you didn't look for it. Good luck, we nurses have to stick together!

Normal resting heart rate for an adult is 60-100 beats per minute.  It can be less if you are a trained athlete and more if you are overweight.  This is a general guideline.

I have the following ideas for you:\n\n1) Bio Access devices like fingerprint scanners. Go for it\n2) Access Control Units\n3) Make some device for like human body temperature reading, or blood pressure reading and integrate it with your software for keeping medical histories etc.

The pulse is the number of heartbeats per minute.\n\nThe pulse is measured at the wrist, neck, temple, groin, behind the knees, or on top of the foot. In these areas, an artery passes close to the skin.\n\nTo measure the pulse at the wrist, place the index and middle finger over the underside of the opposite wrist, below the base of the thumb. Press firmly with flat fingers until you feel the pulse. To measure the pulse on the neck, place the index and middle finger just to the side of the Adam's apple, in the soft, hollow area. Press firmly until the pulse is located.\n\nOnce you find the pulse, count the beats for 1 full minute, or for 30 seconds and multiply by 2. This will give the beats per minute.

Wrist blood pressure monitors have increased in accuracy over the last years, and are now generally considered to be as accurate as the upper arm blood pressure monitors. \n\nThey are much more convenient to use, but it is very important to hold them at the same level as the heart when taking a blood pressure reading. \n\nThe cuff size should be checked carefully before you buy to ensure the readings are accurate.

Maximum and minimum heart rates depends on many factors. General health, age, wieght, body conditioning, etc. Generally the heart rate for an adult is between 75-80 average. People in good health and shape can lower their rate and sustain it for long periods of time. When the heart beats it transports oxygen and other nutrients to tissue through the blood. If cramping occurs in muscles this is an indication that toxins are not being removed through the same process. Maximum rate is aruond 200, again depending on these factors listed. It cannot maintain this rate for a long time because the heart will become fatigued and quit. This is why when training you should monitor your rate. Increasing the rate from resting is good for a cardiovascular workout but dont over do it. The question about a 0 heart rate and being alive, the answer is yes. In heart attack victims their heart stops but tissues and cells still remain alive for a short period of time. However if they dont resume blood circulation they will die due to oxygen not reaching cells and tissues, and toxins not being removed. (signs of rigimortis). So good to be trained in CPR cuz it can happen to anyone at anytime for any reason.

Blood sugar levels between 60 and 100\n3.Weight that is proportianate to their height\n4.Their stomach area is toned and in shape(if not, that is an indicator for those big and small that they are at risk for certain kinds of diseases related to the heart)\n5.They are physically active most of the time, whether it's at the gym, or just outside walking or jogging with friends, these people are no couch potatoes! \nHope that helps, I'll pray that you get an A!

Normal rate for your age would be from 60-100.  What were you doing when you checked your pulse?  Is that after physical exertion or is your resting pulse?  Are you on any medications?  There are many factors that could affect your pulse rate but always check with your doctor if you're concerned, whether you fall in the normal range or not.

The Timex Ironman has the functions you're looking for and only costs about $30.  You can buy them at Target, K-mart, etc...  If you have the $$ then I'd go with a Garmin Forerunner 201 or 301.  It'll do everything you could ever dream on while running.  pace, distance, time, ave pace.  You can program it for intervals.  There is even an option to run against a little figure and show you if you're on pace, too fast or too slow.

Well to figure that out you can see how many times your heart beats in a minute. Then multiply that by 60. Then multiply that by 24 and you get your answer. For example:\nIf your heart beats 58 times in one minute\n58 x 60 = 3480\n3480 x 24 = 83,520\nSo if you heart beats 58 time in one minute, it beats 83,520 times daily.
