pulse
(puls) [L.
pulsus, beating]
1. Rate, rhythm, condition of arterial walls, compressibility and tension, and size and shape of the fluid wave of blood traveling through the arteries as a result of each heartbeat.
3. Throbbing caused by the regular contraction and alternate expansion of an artery as the wave of blood passes through the vessel; the periodic thrust felt over arteries in time with the heartbeat. See:
illustrationA tracing of this is called a sphygmogram and consists of a series of waves in which the upstroke is called the anacrotic limb, and the downstroke (on which is normally seen the dicrotic notch), the catacrotic limb.
The normal resting pulse in adults is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. The resting pulse is faster, for example, in febrile patients, anemic or hypovolemic persons, persons in shock, and patients who have taken drugs that stimulate the heart, such as theophylline, caffeine, nicotine, or cocaine. It may be slower in well-trained athletes; in patients using beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or other agents; and during sleep or deep relaxation.
Patient care
In patients complaining of chest pain, pulses should be assessed in at least two extremities (e.g., both radial arteries). A strong pulse on the right side with a weak one on the left may suggest an aortic dissection or a stenosis of the left subclavian artery. Young patients with high blood pressure should have pulses assessed simultaneously at the radial and femoral artery because a significant delay in the femoral pulse may suggest coarctation of the aorta. Patients with recent symptoms of stroke or claudication should have pulses checked at the carotid, radial, femoral, popliteal, and posterior tibial arteries, to see whether any palpable evidence of arterial insufficiency exists at any of these locations. If a decreased pulse is detected, further evaluation might include ultrasonography or assessments of the ankle brachial index. Patients who are lightheaded or dizzy or who notice palpitations may have detectable premature beats or other pulse irregularities (e.g., the irregularly irregular pulse of atrial fibrillation).
abdominal pulse
A palpable pulse felt between the xiphoid process and the navel. This is produced by the pulse of the abdominal aorta.
alternating pulse
A pulse with alternating weak and strong pulsations.
Synonym: pulsus alternans
anacrotic pulse
A pulse showing a secondary wave on the ascending limb of the main wave.
anadicrotic pulse
A pulse wave with two small notches on the ascending portion.
apical pulse
A pulse felt or heard over the part of the chest wall that lies over the apex of the heart. In healthy people this is roughly located at the left mid-clavicular line in the fourth intercostal space.
See: Pulse: Apical
asymmetrical radial pulse
Unequal pulse.
basal pulse
Resting pulse.
bigeminal pulse
A pulse in which two regular beats are followed by a longer pause.
Synonym:
coupled pulsebisferiens pulse
A pulse marked by two systolic peaks on the pulse waveform. It is characteristic of aortic regurgitation (with or without aortic stenosis) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
bounding pulse
A pulse that reaches a higher intensity than normal, then disappears quickly. Best detected when the arm is held aloft.
Synonym:
collapsing pulsebrachial pulse
See: Pulse: Brachial
capillary pulse
Visible inflow and outflow of blood from the nailbed. It is a finding in patients with aortic regurgitation when their fingernails or toenails are gently depressed by the examiner's finger. Synonym: Quincke's pulse
carotid pulse
See: Pulse: Carotid
catacrotic pulse
A pulse showing one or more secondary waves on the descending limb of the main wave.
catadicrotic pulse
A pulse wave with two small notches on the descending portion.
central pulse
A pulse recorded near the origin of the carotid or subclavian arteries.
collapsing pulse
Bounding pulse.
Corrigan's pulse
See: waterhammer pulse
coupled pulse
Bigeminal pulse.
dicrotic pulse
A pulse with a double beat, one heartbeat for two arterial pulsations, or a seemingly weak wave between the usual heartbeats. This weak wave should not be counted as a regular beat. It is indicative of low arterial tension and is noted in fevers.

A pulse felt over the dorsalis pedis artery of the foot.
