You can feel their pulse through arteries in their wrist or neck. A stethoscope can be used to listen to the heart beat. Ultrasound can produce an image of the beating heart.

What do you feel to know that your heart is beating?

Without being patronising, you'd know if it wasn't! However, I am a heart patient and sometimes can't feel my heart beating in the same places as other people can because my beat gets weak and fast. The places for normal people are your radial pulse point and your carotid pulse point (one side at a time). If you have a stethoscope, the apical pulse (that's what I do right over my heart) is your actual heart beating, but you have to get used to how and where to listen. Your heart, as a normal person, will always be beating, but it's always worth a visit to your doctor for a cadiac checkup, as it's a very important organ that you don't value until it goes wrong! Ask me any more questions that you have...

What is a persons average heart rate?

The usual resting pulse for an adult is 60 to 100 beats per minute. Certain illnesses can cause your pulse to change, so it is helpful to know what your resting pulse is when you are well.


When you know your heart stops beating when you pass out can this cause death?

well! yes! But i doubt that your heart did stop because if it did you would need resuscitation using a defibrillator. So your heart probably didn't stop! It may have been a murmur or tremor (still dangerous) so to be safe go to a doctor and they can do a cardiac rate test and an ultrasound to check everything is working fine.

You heart beating lets you know you are still alive. The heart pumps blood throughout your body. When it stops working, so do you (without external intervention).

The organs for most transplants are taken from people whose hearts are still beating?

Those people are brain dead and are on life support machines which keep the heart and organs working. If that machine is turned off the persons heart would stop beating. So effectively they are dead but a machine keeps the heart going. If the person has signed the donor register and the next of kin agree then that heart is used to save someone elses life. This is of great comfort to the donors next of kin that they know their death was not in vain.
