Apical heart rate?
The apical pulse is taken when the patient is lying or sitting. A stethoscope is used to listen to the heart and placed at the 5th intercostal space (between ribs on left side of body). The beats are counted for a full minute and recorded. A radial pulse is taken by feeling (palpating) for the pulse on either wrist, just below the thumb (in the soft spot). The beats are counted for 30 seconds, then doubled. If the beats are irregular, they are counted for 60 seconds. The pulse is recorded as beats per minute: BPM An apical-radial pulse is when two nurses record each at the same time. The difference is called the "pulse deficit."
Is ventricular tachycardia a type of abnormal heart rhythm?

What problems occure during abnormal heart beats?

What is bigeminy?
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.
When do you check the apical pulse instead of radial pulse?
Apical pulse will never be less than the radial pulse. A radial pulse rate less than the apical rate is an example of a pulse deficit, and can be the result of a heart murmur, but the opposite will never occur.
Is an abnormal heart beat good or bad after a run?
I hate to be this guy, but you should probably consult with Dr...... Dr. Pepper. Well it depends what your definition of a abnormal heart rate is. If it is rapid, then slow, then rapid again, I would say something is a little wrong. If it just accelerated after your run and the beats seem regular and in the same rhythm, then I wouldn't be concerned.
How fast is a normal heart beat?
It depends on your gender, age, and physical conditioning. In general, a normal resting heart rate for an adult is between 70-80 beats per minute with women tending to have a slightly higher heart rate than men. Also children and the elderly tend to also have a higher rate that can be as high as 100 bpm. The other factor is if you are physically fit. The more aerobic exercise you do the more your heart rate tends to be lower, even down to 60 bpm.25-300
