Inmedicine, apulserepresents the tactilearterialpalpationof theheartbeatby trained fingertips. The pulse may be palpated in any place that allows anarteryto be compressed near the surface of the body, such as at theneck(carotid artery),wrist(radial artery), at thegroin(femoral artery), behind theknee(popliteal artery), near theankle joint(posterior tibial artery), and on foot (dorsalis pedis artery). Pulse (or the count of arterial pulse per minute) is equivalent to measuring the heart rate. The heart rate can also be measured by listening to the heart beat byauscultation, traditionally using astethoscopeand counting it for a minute. The radial pulse is commonly measured using three fingers. This has a reason: the finger closest to the heart is used to occlude the pulse pressure, the middle finger is used get a crude estimate of the blood pressure, and the finger most distal to the heart (usually the ring finger) is used to nullify the effect of the ulnar pulse as the two arteries are connected via the palmar arches (superficialanddeep). The study of the pulse is known as sphygmology.
