A rapid resting heart rate, but one considered to be within the normal range (generally 60-100 beats/min), is frequently dismissed during a routine annual checkup, with the high beat count attributed to white-coat syndrome. Also, a high but normal heart rate may not garner much concern from an examining physician if it is associated with confounding factors such as being overweight or being unfit, as getting a patient to lose weight or exercise will reduce cardiovascular disease risk and lower the heart rate as a bonus.
