Pulse deficit is more correctly termed apex-radial deficit [the heart rate measured [by palpation] at the apex of the heart minus the rate at the radial artery on the flexor aspect of the wrist] i.e. it means how many of the times the heart beats are those contractions not strong enough to be felt at the wrist.
Aim: Pulse rate is the number of times in a minute an artery pulsates or the rhythmic expansion and contraction, which indicates that a heartbeat has occurred.s the heart forces blood through the arteries, we feel the beats by firmly pressing on the arteries, which are located close to the surface of the skin at certain points of the body. The pulse can be found on the side of the lower neck, on the inside of the elbow, or at the wrist.
