The stethoscope itself does not measure the heart rate, it faciltates the user of the device to measure your heart rate through listening to the beating of your heart. The health care practioner places the stethoscope chest piece on your heart, typically at the apex or bottom of the heart beneath the left breast where your left ventricle is located and then counts the heartbeats, typically for a minute or so. As well, while listening to your heartbeat at the chest, the examiner will also count your peripheral pulsations at the wrist and/or carotid (neck) to assess your pulse rate to check for potential differences between the heart rate and pulse rate. Normally the heart rate at the chest and pulse rate at peripheral body locations are in sync in healthy people without cardiovascular disease.
