Pulse corresponds to cardiac contractions and is therefore considered one of the important criteria for the cardiovascular system of the body. The strength and rhythm of pulse waves allow us to judge the state of the heart muscle and blood vessels.
Before answering the question about what the normal pulse in an adult person is in 40 years, it is necessary to understand which pulse as a whole corresponds to the norm, and also on what its magnitude depends on.
The pulse rate is in the range of 60-90 beats per minute, but under the influence of a number of factors the pulse rate changes. The frequency and rhythm of the pulse are affected by:
- external factors;
- a condition of an organism;
- floor;
- age.
In addition, a certain effect on the pulse has time of day: at night it is slowed, and from 15.00. until 20.00. the highest pulse rates are noted.
Normal pulse in an adult male is 40 years old
There is a difference between the norm of the pulse in a woman and a man, which is explained by the fact that the male heart is large. In addition, a man receives, as a rule, more significant physical exertion due to the division of labor adopted in the society, therefore his main "motor" is more tempered. Due to these reasons, the norm of heart rate in the stronger sex is less often than in women with 5-10 pulsations. A normal pulse for a person aged 20-40 years is 60-70 beats per minute. At the age of 40, the pulse rate in men increases to 70-75.
The normal pulse of a woman at 40 years of age
In women, the size of the heart is smaller, so to ensure normal physiology, it is forced to work more intensively. There is also an increase in the average heart rate in connection with the increase in age. At 20-40 years, the frequency of attacks from 65 to 75 is considered the norm, at the age after 40 years the norm will be 75-80 beats per minute. And the older the woman becomes, the more often the pulse becomes.
Why does the pulse rate increase?
Physiological norm is a temporary increase in the frequency of cardiac contractions in the experience of emotional stress , physical activity and being in an uncomfortable environment, for example,
- heart diseases;
- damage to the autonomic and central nervous system;
- endocrine disorders;
- infection;
- malignant tumors.
Therefore, if there are abnormalities in the pulse from the norm, it is necessary to consult a specialist for advice.
