To explore "the pulse" of ideas in PULSE, the imPULSE is to link Pulse with Push (Latin pallere) and for those who know Spanish, with PULSERA or wrist bracelet. Those who are poetically inclined, in Spanish "pulsar" implies "to finger" in the sense of gentle finger stroking to induce pleasant reverberations which should induce accelerated heat beats that can be perceived as tachycardia or "fast arterial pulse".

Pulse, in the sense of "a beat" or strike, point to notions of batter, battle and strike, stroke or apoplexy. Also worth remembering is that without a pulse or "beat" marked by the baton of an orchestra director. "Rhythm" is the pulse of music. Another point is that affectionate stroking as in "pulsar", in Spanish for "finger stroking" or petting, may induce pulsations in a beloved being "stroked". Such may be noted by an quivering and an accelerated heart rate perceived as a fast pulse, a sign of tachycardia. I am impelled to add some medical views about the hear "beats" beating arteries to bulge. A hard pulse may be a sign of arterial hypertension and be a prodrome (pre run, forecast or forerunner) of an impeding strike to the brain or apoplexy - a term for a blow to the brain we call "stroke". , most often caused by oxygen deprivation of cerebral tissues. When "finger stroking" a beloved we must remember that by inducing tachycardia it may also induce arterial hypertension. In fact, although rarely, making love may induce a stroke and end in an apoplexy.
