PULSE

Pulse

In medicine, one's pulse represents the tactile arterial palpation of the heartbeat by trained fingertips. The pulse may be palpated in any place that allows an artery to be compressed against a bone, such as at the neck, on the inside of the elbow, at the wrist, at the groin, behind the knee, near the ankle joint, and on foot . Pulse is equivalent to measuring the heart rate. The heart rate can also be measured by listening to the heart beat directly, traditionally using a stethoscope and counting it for a minute. The study of the pulse is known as sphygmology.

Pulse!

Pulse! was a tabloid magazine published by Tower Records which contained record reviews, interviews and advertising. Initially, it was given away free in their stores to promote their record sales. After nine years, in 1992, the magazine began national distribution with a cover price of $2.95, but was cancelled when the company discontinued U.S. operations.
