Yes.

The EKG (or ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart so the waveform (the QRS complex) reflects how fast the electrical impulse spreads through the heart. The heart actually takes longer than this to contract leading to a wider waveform.

What cause a person's pulse?

A pulse in a person's arteries is felt as a wave of high pressure blood comes coursing through the vessel immediately after a heart beat. More specifically, the arterial pulse is felt as the jump in blood pressure from the diastolic pressure up to the systolic pressure. A person who has a narrow pulse width; for example 110/100 will likely have a weaker palpable pulse compared to a person with similar physique and a wider pulse pressure like 140/80.

Is it safer to use shoes with wider soles so we wont slip?

Wider soles distribute the weight over a wider area, thus decreasing ground pressure. This can make slipping more of a risk.


Is it true if you use a wider hose like 3 quarters you will get more pressure or does it depend on the psi of the house?

A wider hose will increase the volumn of flow but will not increase pressure. The pressure is determined by the amount of pressure delivered to the house. In some cases you can restrict the flow from a 3/4 hose and geta gradual increase at the site of the restriction but normal pressure will be reaquired in a very short distance.
