Will exercising decrease the heart lifespan?
I have heard that the heart, as an organ, has a limited number of heartbeats and by doing exercise you will decrease its lifespan.
I know that exercising itself its healthy for the heart but is it better to do less intensive exercises?
Let's say one's bpm is 130 and other's is 150. Will the second person have a smaller heart lifespan?

You don't die because you run out of heartbeats. You run out of heartbeats because you die. Since death is certain, we have a limited number of heartbeats.
But pay attention to the chain of causality.

"The man is from the United States, therefore he is from New York" does not hold.
So no, your lifespan is not dictated by your bpm.
