-Volumen refers to the force or strengh of the pulse terms are normal full, bounding weak or theady.
-Rhythm refers to the regularity of spacing between beats. terms are regular, irregular, regularly irregularly and intermittent. Heart rhythm is vital to the function of the heart. If the heart fails to be excited, then no beating occurs.
-A normal heart rate is usually stated as 60 to 100 beats per minute. Slower than 60 is called bradycardia; faster than 100 is tachycardia ("fast heart").
The two characteristics of the heartbeat, which must be observed are the diastole and the systole. The diastole refers to the period of the time when the refilling of the heart with the blood takes place after the contraction of systole.
While systole determines the contractions of the heart from the blood being mediated via the pulmonary artery and aorta post each dilation.
