Is apical pulse lower than radial?

NOTE: An apical pulse will never be lower than the radial pulse.

What is the difference between apical pulse and peripheral pulse?

One person measures the apical pulse while the other person measures a peripheral pulse, such as the one in your wrist. These pulses will be counted at the same time for one full minute, with one person giving the signal to the other to start counting.
