Apical pulse refers to the heartbeat measured at the apex of the heart, typically using a stethoscope placed on the chest. Pain in the area can indicate various underlying issues, such as cardiac conditions, respiratory problems, or musculoskeletal disorders. When pain is present, it may affect the accuracy of the apical pulse assessment by causing irregularities in heart rate or rhythm due to anxiety or discomfort. Additionally, the patient's movement or breathing may be restricted, leading to difficulty in obtaining a clear and consistent measurement.
