A member asked:
I had a friend say her heart rate was 600 bpm when she overdosed and was hospitalized. is it even possible ?!

No: That's not possible. Heart rates much above 300 bpm are incompatible with life. Such rates would not allow the heart to refill after each heart beat and would lead to death.

Not likely: It's not likely someone would live if their heart beat approached such an unusually high rate.
