The two methods for measuring heart rate are radial pulse and apical pulse.

Solución

The two primary methods for measuring heart rate are:
  1. Radial Pulse: This involves palpating (feeling) the pulse at the wrist where the radial artery is located. It’s a quick and non-invasive way to determine the heart rate manually.
  2. Apical Pulse: This method involves listening to the heart sounds using a stethoscope placed on the chest (typically over the apex of the heart). It provides an accurate count of heartbeats per minute and is especially useful in clinical settings.
While an ECG (Electrocardiogram) is a precise tool for measuring heart rate and assessing heart rhythm, it is more equipment-dependent and typically used in medical settings rather than for routine pulse checks.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Radial pulse and apical pulse

Bonus Knowledge

Measuring heart rate can be quite fascinating! When using the radial pulse, you’re checking the heartbeat at the wrist, feeling for the pulsations of the blood as it flows with each heartbeat. It’s a quick and easy method that anyone can do, making it perfect for at-home checks.
On the other hand, the ECG (electrocardiogram) is a more advanced tool that provides a comprehensive view of the heart’s electrical activity. It’s particularly useful in clinical settings since it can reveal any arrhythmias or abnormalities in heart function — essentially acting as a window into your heart’s rhythm!
