Monitoring a person's pulse is one of the simplest forms of medical assessment. Blood moves throughout the body as the smooth muscles lining the walls of the arteries contract and relax, in time to the beating of the heart. The pulse rate then represents the number of times a heart beats in a single minute. Healthy adults have a resting heart rate between 60 and 100 beats per minute.
Factors Influencing Pulse RateA number of factors influence an individual's resting heart rate including age, gender and fitness levels:
The elderly are prone to suffer from either abnormally low pulse rates (bradycardia) or abnormally high pulse rates (tachycardia.) It also take a much longer time for an elderly individual's pulse rate to increase when he or she exercises, and to decrease after exercise is finished.
The body has a number of points where the pulse may be palpated. The most frequently used pulse point is the radial pulse on the wrist at the base of the thumb. Take your index and middle fingers and press them gently to the inside of your wrist a little less than an inch beneath your thumb. That throbbing you feel is your radial pulse; if you don't, you may have to press down slightly but don't press down so hard you occlude the pulse.
Count the number of beats you feel over a 15 second interval, then multiply times four to obtain your resting pulse rate.
