What is the difference in value called between apical pulse and arterial pulse?

∙ 14y ago
The apical pulse may be a little bit faster than say a radial pulse because of the slight lag in time as blood rushes from the heart into larger arteries. Any LARGE difference between the values of apical and other pulses observed is called a PULSE DEFICIT. This could indicate a cardiac impairment (i.e. a weakened heart).
