The "beat" is a result of heart pumping blood in and out of the circulatory system.
Heart is like a pump made of muscles. It maintains blood circulation in body by pumping blood. The sound that you hear (beat) is a result of that muscular activity.

Your heart beats through electrical impulses caused by electrolysis from the electrolytes created by your liver, these go to your heart. If these are upset in any way through drinking, drugs and even your diet, it can and will cause your heart to have a reaction, like beating faster, slower or skipping and, even death.
You need a healthy diet and not invade your system with unnatural foreign substances like alcohol.
All this is of course regulated by your brain. Your heart, in a lifetime, can pump enough blood to float an Aircraft carrier like the U.S.S. Enterprise and it rests between beats.

Your heart beats to pump blood throughout your body. Your blood carries oxygen and nutrients, as well as gets the wastes and carbon dioxide from your body. This is very essential to keep yourself alive and healthy.
