Introduction
Pulse wave .jpg
Pulse/heart rate is the wave of blood in the artery created by contraction of the left Ventricle during a cardiac cycle. The strength or amplitude of the pulse reflects the amount of blood ejected with myocardial contraction (stroke volume). Normal pulse rate range for an adult is between 60-100 beats per minute. A well-trained athlete may have a resting heart rate of 40 to 60 beats per minute, according to the American Heart Association (AHA).[1]
Types of Pulse rate
Peripheral pulses: Pulses that can be felt at the periphery of the body by palpating an artery over a bony prominence.
Examples are carotid, radial and popliteal pulses
Apical pulses: It is a central pulse located on the apex of the heart that is monitored using a stethoscope.[2]
Parameters of Pulses
Rate: Number of pulsation which could be bradycardia (<60/minute) or rachycardia (>100/minute)
Rhythm: Time interval between pulse beats[2
