The patient's Heart Rate level in beats/min.
Different instructions for ICU and Medicine
The details of collection for ICU and medicine are different. For the timing and which value to use, see:
- for ICU: General Collection Guidelines for Apache II#When to collect, which value to use
- for medicine: MOST score timing of assessment
Atrial Fibrillation
When the patient is in atrial fibrillation, do not use the atrial rate use the ventricular rate.

APACHE Score
This value is used to generate the APACHE Score.
Collecting Apache physiological variables
There are some specific rules to follow in choosing which one of several lab results to collect.
See APACHE physiological variable collection for details.
Cross Chcks
Rules described in APACHE_physiological_variable_collection#Exceptionally_high_or_low_values are implemented by Check APACHE physiological variable high low.
