The point of maximal impulse (PMI) is the location on the chest where the heartbeat is most strongly felt, typically corresponding to the apex of the heart. It is usually found in the fifth intercostal space, at the midclavicular line on the left side of the chest. Assessing the PMI can help healthcare providers evaluate heart size, position, and function. An abnormal PMI may indicate underlying cardiac conditions.

What does PMI stand for?
PMI is an acronym for Point of Maximal Impulse. It refers to the point at which you can feel the systolic impulse of the heart the best. Usually, it is in the left 5th intercostal space in the mid-clavicular line._______________-Pre-marksmanship instructionProject Management Institute

Where is point of maximal impuls?
The point of maximal impulse (PMI) is the location where the heart is closest to the surface of the body. As there is less distance and tissue to impede the transmission of movement from the heart, the perceived impulse is felt most strongly at this point. In adults it is frequently found in the fifth intercostal space just medial to the left midclavicular line. In infants and young children the PMI may be found just left of the midclavicular line and at either the 3rd or 4th intercostal space. Identification of location of the PMI, assessment of its mechanical character, and auscultation of the area are often of diagnostic value in the physical examination of the cardiovascular system.
Where to palpate an apical impulse?
The apical impulse, also known as the point of maximal impulse (PMI), is typically palpated at the fifth intercostal space, just medial to the midclavicular line on the left side of the chest. To locate it, find the clavicle, move down to the fifth rib, and slide your fingers to the left side of the chest. In some patients, particularly those with a larger chest or certain conditions, the PMI may be located slightly higher or lower, or more lateral.
What is located at the second rib and fifth intercostal space?
The second rib is located at the sternal angle, which marks the division between the manubrium and body of the sternum. The fifth intercostal space is where the apex of the heart is located, specifically the point of maximal impulse (PMI).
