Significado de los resultados anormales:

La frecuencia cardíaca en reposo consistentemente alta ( taquicardia ) puede ser indicio de un problema y se debe consultar al médico. También se debe consultar con el médico si dicha frecuencia cardíaca en reposo está por debajo de los valores normales (bradicardia).

Así mismo, se debe hablar con el médico si el pulso es muy fuerte ( pulso saltón ) y dura más allá de unos cuantos minutos. Un pulso irregular también puede indicar un problema (ver sensaciones de latidos cardíacos  ).
