Why is there a difference between heart rate and pulse?
Heart rate and pulse rate are different because a heart rate measures the heartbeats of the heart, whereas a pulse rate measures the rate of blood pressure. A heartbeat pushes the blood through the body. This causes a change in blood pressure and a pulse in the main arteries.
What is the normal heart beat and pulse rate?
The normal pulse for healthy adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. The pulse rate may fluctuate and increase with exercise, illness, injury, and emotions. Females ages 12 and older, in general, tend to have faster heart rates than do males.
Can your pulse and heart rate be different?
Your pulse is your heart rate, or the number of times your heart beats in one minute. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you are at rest and increases when you exercise (more oxygen-rich blood is needed by the body when you exercise).
