Yes you can. Normal heart rate is 60-100. When the heart is beating faster than that it is just like if you were to take off running as fast as you can down the street without stopping. Eventually you will get tired and fall because you can't run any more. Your legs will hurt and it will be hard to breath. It is the same with the heart. It will get tired and just quit. Now, 163 is high and dangerous for someone who normally has a heart rate 100 or below, if it stays 163 for a long time. It is not dangerous if it rises for just a little while such as when you are exercising and you are healthy. If you want to know more detail about what happens to a heart that is beating at 163 read the following: There is a very short pause between the beats of the heart. This pause allows the blood to fill the heart so it can pump it to the lungs to load up with oxygen and out of the heart so it can deliver oxygen to the rest of the body. When the heart beats that fast, the pause is shorter so less blood has time to fill up the heart. Less blood means less oxygen being delivered and the cells of the body, including the heart itself (because it is a muscle) starts to die from lack of oxygen. This is what causes the heart to eventually give out and stop.

How are birth rates and death rates used to measure population growth?
Birth rates and death rates are used to calculate the rate at which a population is growing. When the birth rate exceeds the death rate, the population is increasing. Conversely, if the death rate is higher than the birth rate, the population is decreasing. The difference between the birth rate and death rate over a period of time is known as the natural increase rate.
Why might cells begin to die at a faster rate than new cells are made?
Lack of nutrients and an increase in cellular waste products
What is the listeriosis survival rate in newborns infected with Listeria?
The survival rate of newborns infected with Listeria can vary depending on factors such as the gestational age at birth, the severity of infection, and how quickly treatment is initiated. In general, the survival rate can range from 50% to 80%, with prompt diagnosis and treatment being key factors in improving outcomes.
What is best pattern of microbial death?
The best pattern of microbial death is typically exponential decay, where the number of living microbes decreases rapidly over time in a consistent and predictable manner. This allows for effective control and understanding of microbial populations in various applications.
What is death rate definition?
Death rate is the number of deaths per 1,000 people in a population over a specific period of time, usually a year. It is an important indicator of the overall health and well-being of a population and is often used to assess the impact of diseases, disasters, or other factors on mortality.
