0 Hi all. I know that the Apical Pulse or PMI or mitral valve or whatever you want to call it is located at the left 5th intercostal space, midclavicular line.
How to find and check your pulse. Your pulse can be found where an artery passes close to the skin, such as your neck or wrist. How to find your pulse in your wrist. 1  Hold one of your hands out with the palm facing upwards and the elbow slightly bent. 2  Place your index (first) and middle fingers of your other hand on the inside of your wrist, just below the base of your thumb. 3  Press the two fingers lightly on your skin until you feel your pulse.
