Can having a fast pulse rate increase you risks of having a heart attack?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible : Very fast and for some duration. The heart if normal and in shape can do very well. If diseased, coronary obstructions, then fast rate and/ or high blood pressure can challenge the capacity.
