A member asked:
What does a strong and slow pulse indicate and what does a fast and weak indicate? can u have high blood pressure in ur neck but normal in ur arm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PulsePressure & Rate: Pulse strength: a result of the pulse pressure; the difference in the systolic vs. diastolic pressure; a result of (a) cardiac stoke volume vs. (b) arterial volume & (c) elasticity (assuming no Aortic Regurg. or AV shunts). Pulse is a result of each heart beat, thus will never be faster than heart rate; but can be slower (some heart pumps not felt). If major arteries are open then pressures ~same.
