Tuesday’s best bets on TV include:

“Heartbeat” is a fast-paced new medical drama that follows a renowned heart transplant surgeon (Melissa George) who pushes the boundaries of medical science while juggling her high-stress career with a racy personal life and pickup basketball games. She has us feeling worn out already. 9 p.m., NBC.

“Friday Night Tykes: Steel Country” shifts the provocative youth-football documentary series to western Pennsylvania, the gridiron hotbed that spawned legends like Joe Namath, Johnny Unitas, Joe Montana and more. There, youth football is not just a pastime but a birthright. 10 p.m., Esquire.
