How is the pulse rate related to heart rate and the flow of blood in someone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Same: Pulse rate and heart rate are the same generally...This occurs when blood is ejected from the left ventricle to the systemic arterial circulation. There are rare instances when a premature beat comes so close ti last beat that a strong pulse is not transmitted but this is rare.

I feel like this is a silly question. I was laying with my hand on my chest, felt my heart beating. Checked my pulse in my neck, and it did not sync up, almost like its delayed in my neck. Is the pulse different because of the blood flow traveling?
