Heart rate and oxygen are linked through physiological stress responses where low oxygen levels trigger an increase in heart rate [1], and the heart's compensatory increase in rate necessitates a higher demand for oxygen [2]. Furthermore, both are core parameters managed by the body's regulatory systems, with oxygen being a primary vital parameter and heart rate being an allostatic supporting parameter [3].

claimThe heart's compensatory increase in rate and contraction strength requires more oxygen and nutrients, which can lead to insufficient blood flow to the heart tissue if total blood volume is too low.
