Pulse

Pulse

The pulse is a consistent rhythmic oscillation of the walls of the arteries, resulting from contractions of the left ventricle of the heart and corresponding to the heart rate (usually characterized by the number of heartbeats per minute). The pulse is easily determined in such superficial arteries as the radial (near the wrist) and carotid (in the neck).

The average resting heart rate of an adult is 60-80 beats per minute. However, physical activity, injury, illness and emotional arousal can lead to a significant increase in heart rate. An elevated heart rate can indicate various health conditions, so regular monitoring is important.

Pulse (English pulse) is a consistent rhythmic oscillation of the walls of the arteries, which occurs as a result of contraction of the left ventricle of the heart. The pulse rate usually corresponds to the heart rate and is characterized by the number of heart beats in one minute. The pulse can be easily determined in superficial arteries such as the radial and carotid arteries. The average heart rate for adults is 60-80 beats per minute at rest, but physical activity, injury and illness can cause the heart rate to increase.

Pulse or its absence is the first indicator of the health of our body. A bad pulse indicates some kind of malfunction that occurs inside the body. With a rapid pulse, specialists may suspect abnormal heart function, vascular thrombosis, or thromboembolism. Wave-like pulsations indicate gastrointestinal disease and lung disease. If there is no reaction, this may be a manifestation of cardiovascular pathologies, body injury, or intoxication of the body.

The pulse is a periodic oscillation, a pressure wave, that is observed at the exit from the artery at the point where it passes into the hand. This indicator allows the doctor to obtain important information about the functioning of the heart and blood vessels, as well as find out
