Abstract:
Pacemaker therapy is the cornerstone in treatment of bradycardia and conduction disorders. Several diagnostic tools are utilized to diagnose and guide the physicians for appropriate management and accordingly proper utilization of pacemaker therapy. The current article is discussing the different diagnostics used for appropriate evaluation and diagnosis of bradyarrhythmias and the suggested solutions to improve bradycardia diagnosis and pacemaker therapy utilization in underpenetrated areas.

Assessment of apical pulse
Assessing the apical pulse is a critical nursing procedure, particularly indicated for:
Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
Pre-Procedural Preparation
Special considerations while measuring pulse
