Actually the heart rate would naturally decrease. Think about it this way; blood needs to be continuously pumped out of the heart at a near constant flow in order to supply the body with it and keep it perused. If you have more blood being pumped out per stroke, then the heart wouldn't need more strokes to supply the same amount. It would need to decrease the amount of beats per min.

The heart rate will go up, because it is more stronger and has more energy to pump oxygen to your body & bring the carbon dioxide to your nose

hope this helps
