60 bps is a fine HR, if you are implying it isn't

Yeah, 60hz isn't a pulse, it's a bass hum. It means you are a robot operating in the US and you have a poorly filtered power supply.

Heart beat is usually measured in bpm. All the charts top out at 200. 360 bpm is certainly problematic for a human.

That's 3 times the heart rate of a hummingbird.

You’re thinking of one beat per second, i.e. 60 beats per minute. 60 bps is not possible, but if it were, it wouldn’t be survivable.
