How to measure pulse in patients with atrial fibrillation

Patients with atrial fibrillation can touch the radial artery for 1 minute to determine their pulse value. In addition, you can also use a stethoscope to observe heart rate while measuring blood pressure. Pulse rate of patients with atrial fibrillation can reach 70~100 beats per minute, while heart rate can reach 150 beats per minute. Pulse rate is normally lower than heart rate.

Patients with atrial fibrillation should check their ECG regularly, and often check their pulse and heart rate, so as to keep abreast of changes in their condition.
