Pulse Bounding

Pulse is the rate at which heart of the person beats. It is usually called your heart rate, which is the number of times your heart beats each minute (bpm). Whether the blood vessel feels hard or soft, the rhythm and strength of the heartbeat can also be noted. Pulse can be feel at different places such as at the neck (carotid artery), at the wrist (radial artery), behind the knee (popliteal artery), on the inside of the elbow (brachial artery), and near the ankle joint (posterior tibial artery).As heart of a person pumps blood through body, you can feel a pulsing in some of the blood vessels close to the skin’s surface. If you want to find out how fast your heart is beating simply Count your pulse.

Pressure waves move through the artery walls. When heart is in contraction position, blood is ejected into the aorta and the aorta stretches. At this point, the wave of distention which refers as pulse wave is pronounced but relatively slow-moving (3–6 m/s). It becomes faster as it travels towards the peripheral blood vessels, its velocity is 7–10 m/s in the large arterial branches, and in the small arteries, it is 15–35 m/s. From60 to 100 beats per minute (BPM), is a normal pulse rate for a healthy adult, while resting, Some athletes may have a healthy pulse rate lower than 60 BPM. Moreover, pulse rates are higher in infants and young children.

Bounding pulse is often is classified as a powerful and strong pulse. Arties which are visible through skin can clearly make you see the forceful pumping of blood through these arteries. Sometime it is happens because of excessive fluid in the circulation. Bounding pulse and high speed in heart rate occur separately but it can happen together.

There are many conditions which cause bounding pulse these all are following there can be other possibilities which can be identified by your doctor.

The list of causes is as under:

1. Berry aneurysm
2. Anaemia
3. Aortic regurgitation
4. Fever
5. Arterio-venous shunt
6. Pregnancy

For living a healthy life one should be very careful and precarious about his health. Bounding pulse is a disease which can be dangerous so we have to look after ourselves.
