Why is the pulse beats a vital sign of life. why?

The pulse is the number of times the heart beats every minute. This is extremely important to medical professionals simply because the heart provides oxygen to all tissues throughout the body, without oxygen these tissues begin to die. In 10 minutes of reduced oxygen flow, the brain has impaired level of function. If the heart beats to slow, not enough oxygen is pumped through the system. Too fast and not enough oxygen is captured in the hemoglobin of the blood cells.
