Normal: In thin individuals, the apical impulse is recognizable. Apical impulse is normally in 5th interspace just medial to midclavicular line and is about 1-2 cm in diameter. The apical impulse feels like a gentle tap and is small in amplitude and corresponds to first two thirds of systole.
What is an abnormal apical impulse?
An apical pulse rate is typically considered abnormal in an adult if itβs above 100 beats per minute (bpm) or below 60 bpm. Your ideal heart rate at rest and during physical activity are very different. Children have a higher resting pulse rate than adults.
What is the normal apical pulse for a healthy adult?
Normal pulse rate range for an adult is between 60-100 beats per minute. A well-trained athlete may have a resting heart rate of 40 to 60 beats per minute, according to the American Heart Association (AHA).
