What is considered to be a dangerous heartrate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart rate: There is no fixed number, but most of us would not like to see someone having a rate over 180bpm other than for a short burst of activity. Rates over 200 have been seen with no ill effects but most of us are nervous about rates over 180 as I said.
