radial pulse - pulse of the radial artery (felt in the wrist) heart rate, pulse rate, pulse - the rate at which the heart beats; usually measured to obtain a quick evaluation of a person's health.
People usually measure the pulse in the wrist, also known as the radial pulse. To check the pulse rate, you should count the number of times the pulse beats for 10 seconds. Once you get the number, multiply it by 6. This will give you your heart rate per minute.For example, if there are 11 pulse beats per 10 seconds, multiply: 11X 6=66 beats per minute. pulse rate between 60 and 90 is considered to be normal. There are athletes and fitness freaks having an astoundingly low pulse rate of 40-60, which means the pulse rate is quite good. The pulse rate below 60, in medical parlance is called as bradycardias..
