The carotid pulse, located in the neck, is generally stronger and may be felt more quickly than the radial pulse at the wrist. Additionally, factors such as blood pressure, heart rate, and individual anatomical variations can influence the timing and strength of these pulses, leading to potential discrepancies in their felt rhythm.
