Question

How does pulse rate relate to heart rate?

Answer 1

Heart forcefully pumps out blood in arteries every systole. This rhythmic burst of blood flow is felt on arterial walls as pulse. Thus pulse rate is always same as our heart rate .

Explanation:

Pulse is felt as palpation on superficially located portions of arteries where the blood vessel could be pressed against a bony skeletal part. Doctors monitor pulse rate by using their finger tips.
