A British pensioner has stunned doctors after he recorded what could be the world’s slowest ever heart beat - slower than the world’s top athletes and even that of an elephant.
一位英國(guó)老人的心跳速率讓醫(yī)生們?yōu)橹痼@,因?yàn)樗蟾糯蚱屏耸澜缱盥奶挠涗洝仁澜珥敿獾倪\(yùn)動(dòng)員,甚至大象還慢。
Super-fit Daniel Green, 81, could not believe it when medics said his heart rate had dropped to just 26 beats per minute - lower than Sir Bradley Wiggins and Mo Farah at rest, 35bpm and 33bpm respectively.
今年81歲卻身體硬朗的丹尼爾·格林得知自己的心跳每分鐘只有26下時(shí)也難以置信。因?yàn)檫@個(gè)速率比自行車(chē)運(yùn)動(dòng)員布拉德利·威金斯的每分鐘35下,和英國(guó)田徑運(yùn)動(dòng)員莫·法拉的每分鐘33下還慢得多。
Mr Green was having a check-up when doctors said his resting rate was 36bpm but dropped to 26 - lower than the world record.
當(dāng)時(shí)格林正在進(jìn)行身體檢查,醫(yī)生告知他,其心跳從原來(lái)的1分鐘36下降至26下,比世界紀(jì)錄還低。
The official Guinness World Record holder is Martin Brady, 45, of Guernsey, who recorded a heartbeat of 27bpm.
目前吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄的保持者是一個(gè)名叫 馬丁·布萊迪的男子,現(xiàn)年45歲,他的心跳速率是每分鐘27下。
Doctors only realised Mr Green’s incredible heart rate after they hooked him up to an ECG machine for 24 hours.
醫(yī)生們讓格林在心電圖機(jī)器前掃描了24小時(shí)后,才意識(shí)到他不可思議的心跳速率。
The average adult male heart beats at 72bpm - ranging from around 60bpm to 100bpm depending on activity levels.
一般成年人的心跳速率為每分鐘72下,根據(jù)人體的活動(dòng)狀態(tài),每分鐘60下到100下均屬于正常范圍。
Mr Green puts his remarkable health down to daily exercise, and has not been to hospital since 1976, when he had a hernia operation.
格林認(rèn)為自己的心跳速率低要?dú)w功于每天的鍛煉。1976年接受疝氣手術(shù)后,格林就再也沒(méi)去過(guò)醫(yī)院。
He said: ‘I couldn’t believe it when the doctors told me. I suppose your heart rate isn’t something anyone ever really notices.
他表示:“醫(yī)生告訴我這個(gè)消息的時(shí)候我也非常震驚。我以為人們一般不太關(guān)注心跳速率。”
‘I was put forward for the 24-hour scan after my GP was alarmed by a 15-second ECG he gave me. But there’s nothing to worry about - I’m still in fine fettle.
“我的醫(yī)生在幫我做了15秒心電圖后發(fā)現(xiàn)一些問(wèn)題,便要求我做了24小時(shí)的心電圖掃描,所幸結(jié)果表示一切正常。”
‘I go for hour-long walks every morning and do some light exercise with weights and a cross-trainer at least three times a week.
“我每天早上都會(huì)散步一小時(shí),做些減重運(yùn)動(dòng),每周至少還會(huì)有三次使用全能鍛煉機(jī)。”
‘They tell me an elephant has a heart rate of just 28 beats per minute, so I suppose I’m as healthy as an elephant.’
“醫(yī)生還告訴我,大象的平均心跳速率是每分鐘28下,所以我比大象還健壯啊。”
