How does the pulse rate compare to the heartbeat rate?

Heart rate and Pulse rate is often same thing. The pulse starts in the heart beat. Every heart beat causes a pulse in the arteries, similar to the ripple a stone makes when it is thrown in a pond. The heart rate is the number of times your heart contracts in one minute. The heart is a muscular pump that with each heart beat pumps blood around the body by contraction of the heart's muscle. On leaving the heart the blood first travels along the arteries. Healthy adult heart rate is 60 to 80 beats per minute. For older adults, normal is considered 60 to 100 beats per minute. Women generally have a higher rate than men. Tachycardia is the heart beat where rate is greater than 100 beats per minute, while bradycardia is the beat less than 60 per minute. The heart rate is assessed via the use of a stethoscope to count the beats directly on the chest. Pulse rate, on the other hand, is assessed via palpation using the finger pads of the finger.Pulse is the expansion and contraction of an artery caused by the ejection of blood from the left side of the heart. Pulse is easily felt at the wrist or at the neck. The normal pulse and heart rate for the adult is between 60-100 beats per minute. In most cases, pulse will equal heart rate and vice versa. Therefore, pulse rate and heart rate are one and the same. There can be a difference between the two rates in case blood finds it difficult to get into or pass into the arteries. In such cases the two rates differ from each other and hence medical attention should be sought immediately.
