The apical pulse is palpable in most patients. It is easier to auscultate, however the skill of apical palpation improves with practice.

Apical pulse is typically measured by using auscultation, which involves listening to the heartbeat with a stethoscope placed over the apex of the heart. This method allows healthcare providers to accurately assess the heart rate and rhythm. Palpation can also be used to locate the apical pulse, but auscultation is more precise for determining the actual heartbeat.

How pulse beat brought about?
In medicine, one's pulse represents the tactile arterial palpation of the heartbeat by trained fingertips. The pulse may be palpated in any place that allows an artery to be compressed against a bone, such as at the neck (carotid artery), at the wrist (radial artery), behind theknee (popliteal artery), on the inside of the elbow (brachial artery), and near the ankle joint(posterior tibial artery). The pulse can also be measured by listening to the heart beat directly (auscultation), traditionally using a stethoscope.
In normal conditions is the apical pulse the same as the radial pulse?
NO. the difference between the Apical and Radial pulse is known as the pulse deficit. There should be some difference between the twon.
