instant heart rate? instantaneous heart rate Explanation: This is the correct English idiom. It refers to the heart rate calculated on a beat to beat basis. That is, rather than count the number of beats in 1 minute, the time interval between two adjacent beats is measured and the result divided into 60 seconds to derive the "instantaneous" heart rate in beats per minute. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_instantaneous_heart_rate |
