yes because during atria systole, the heart muscle tissue contracts.

What conditions may cause the apical and radial pulse to be different from each other?
Please double check this but here is a shot 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 When_would_an_apical_pulse_be_less_then_radial_pulseof a heart murmur, but the opposite will never occur.
What causes an erratic pulse rate?
causes of irregular pulse : Regularly irregular pulse : 1 sinus bradycardia 2 sinus tachycardia 3 paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia Irregularly irregular pulse: 1 atrial fibrillation 2 atrial flutter 3 ventricular premature beats 4 heart block 5 pacemaker dysfunction
Why would you have normal pulse on one arm and no pulse on the other arm?
cause you would have different arteries in your arm
Which finger should you not use when taking pulse?
The thumb because it has a pulse of it's own.
What happens to your artery when you feel a pulse?
During diastole, or the resting part of the heartbeat, there is a minimum amount of pressure on arteries. When the heart pumps (systole) it forces the blood out of the ventricle and into the artery. Arteries are elastic, so when this blood passes through it, it causes the artery to expand from the increased pressure. It is this expansion as the bolus of blood rushes forward that you feel in a pulse.
How is pulse related to systole and diastole?
Systole is when a chamber of the heart (i.e. atrial vs. ventricular systole) is contracting. Diastole is when a chamber of the heart is relaxing. Without qualifying which chamber it is usually assumed to mean the left ventricle.Systole refers to when the heart is contracted and diastole refers to when the heart is relaxed.
What is AV nobes?
I think you mean 'AV Node'. If so, then it is part of the hearts pace maker called the Atrio-ventricular node. It emits an electric pulse across the ventricles to make them contract (ventricular systole). This pulse would have come from the SA (Sino-atrial) node, which would have made the atria contract before the electric pulse reached the AV node.
Why can you only feel one pulse and the doctors can hear two?
When a doctor listens to your heart he hears the systole and diastole of the heart. The "lub-dub" that they hear is the closure of valves of the heart at rest (diastole) when the heart fills with blood and the heart squeezes blood (systole) out into the body. When you feel the pulse, you only feel when the heart pushes blood through the vascular system during systole.
When a pulse is palpated and counted which blood pressure would be a characteristic at that moment?
usually the systolic, as that is the one when the heart is actually pumping. usually reported as palpated 70 or whatever reading there was.
What is the pressure wave in blood called?
The pressure wave, created by systole is called a pulse
Why do you hear an apical beat in systole?
The systole is when the left ventricle contracts and produces a stroke volume that is felt as a pulse. This is part of the measurement of a blood pressure reading. The reason you hear the 'lubb' sound is because the ventricle contractions are stronger than the atrial contractions. The 'dupp' sound is when the ventricles relax, so the sound is softer. Both sounds, or small upward blips on the sphygmomometer dial is due to the closing of, first, the atrioventricular valves for systole, and then the closing of the pulmonary semilunar valves for the diastole.
How can I test for atrial fibrillation (a form of cardiac arrhythmia)?
A doctor can detect an irregular heartbeat during a physical exam by taking your pulse, listening to your heartbeat or by performing diagnostic tests.
What are cardiovascular manifestations with graves diseases?
sinus trachy cardia bounding pulse windened pulse pressure Increased intensity of s1 (high cardiac output) Atrial fibrilation
What does anyone know about atrial flutter and high pulse rate and sweating at night?
Atrial flutter is a type of abnormal heart rhythm that can result in a rapid and irregular heartbeat. This can lead to symptoms like a high pulse rate and night sweats. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and management of atrial flutter to prevent complications.
Would pulse rate decrease or increase during heat stroke?
your pulse rate would increase because the heart would be trying to keep up a moderate blood pressure.
How does marijuana affect someone with atrial fibrillation?
Despite popular belief, marijuana is a stimulant. It raises your heart rate, and can cause anxiety and hypertension. I have atrial flutter (similar to atrial fibrillation). My doctor told me to stay away from marijuana, but I was skeptical so I did my own test. I took my blood pressure and pulse before and after use. My blood pressure remained about the same but my pulse went from 82 to 120 and stayed above 100 for at least a half an hour, all while I was sitting on the couch. Considering that atrial fibrillation causes tachycardia (rapid heart beat), I don't think the ganja will help your situation. We all react differently to substances, but I would recommend refraining from daily use.
What happens to the pulse during and after exercise?
You move more, your pulse is faster.
