MODEL RELEASED. Pulse rate. General practice doctor presses his fingers to the wrist of an 80 year old woman to feel her radial pulse. The superficial radial artery in the wrist is the most common site for measuring pulse rate. The pulse is a series of pressure waves within an artery caused by contraction of the left ventricle of the heart and corresponds with the number of times the heart beats during a minute. Normal resting pulse rate for an adult is 60-80 beats per minute,but this may vary considerably due to age,injury,illness,or state of relaxation | |
