Polygenic score
Influential genes: MYH6,CD46,ACHE
Genetic variations in the gene MYH6 have been associated with sick sinus syndrome.
GWAS study identified several loci associated with heart rate, including the gene CD46.

Heart rate is the number of times your heart beats each minute. Normally this ranges between 60 and 100 times per minute in adults. When your heart rate is too fast (>100), it is called tachycardia and if it is too slow, it is called bradycardia (<60). All three rates can be physiologic.
Long-term deviations in your heart rate from normal values should be investigated by a doctor (general practitioner, cardiologist). They might be a sign of heart diseases or systemic conditions of the body like thyroid gland disorders, anemia, anxiety, or infections, especially if they arise together with other symptoms.
Deviations of your heart rate are most often normal - not every person has the same resting heart rate. It might even change according to your environment. Reducing your stress can alleviate symptoms of tachycardia. On the other hand bradycardia could be a sign of being relaxed or in good physical shape, athletes tend to have lower resting heart rates.
