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.
