When resting the normal heart rate should be in the range 60-80 per minute. Heart rate is controlled by the vegetative nerve system system consisted of sympathicus and parasympathicus. Any event (physiological or pathological) that stimulates the sympathicus will cause increasing of the heart rate. Any event that stimulates the parasympathicus will decrease the heart rate.
