2. Introduction 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

3. 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.
