Healthy hearts beat at a regular rhythm. Sometimes Heart arrhythmia may occur, in which the heart might beat too early/fast (tachycardia), too slow/late (bradycardia), or just become irregular. More information can be found at the [MayoClinic](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-arrhythmia/symptoms-causes/syc-20350668) regarding Heart Arrhythmia conditions.

The IHB is merely an indication that a heart beat did not fall at the regular time, not whether it was fast, slow or random. It can be used in conjunction with other biometrics to assist clinicians.
