Nurses use a stethoscope. They document the apex beat in red and the radial beat in blue.
The apex beat, also called the point of maximum impulse (PMI), is the furthermost point outwards (laterally) and downwards (inferiorly) from the sternum at which the cardiac impulse can be felt. The cardiac impulse is the result of the heart rotating, moving forward and striking against the chest wall during systoleIdentificationThe normal apex beat can be palpated in the precordium left 5th intercostal space, at the point of intersection with the left midclavicular line. In children the apex beat occurs in the fourth rib interspace medial to the nipple. The apex beat may also be found at abnormal locations; in many cases of dextrocardia, the apex beat may be felt on the right side.
One Drop (apex)
The apex beat or the point of maximum impulse (PMI), is the furthermost point outwards and downwards from the sternum at which the cardiac impulse can be felt. It beats because the heart is beating and that is the point at which the beat can be felt.
You don't take a pulse rate from there - anyone feeling your apex beat was probably looking at the quality ofthe beat itself!

Bigeminy is an abnormal heart rhythm where every other beat is abnormal. This can be an abnormal atrial beat (atrial bigeminy), a beat arising from the AV junction or bundle of His (junctional bigeminy), or a ventricular beat (ventricular bigeminy). The pattern is as such: Normal beat... abnormal beat... normal beat.... abnormal beat... normal beat... abnormal beat... repeat.
