Apical Pulse Location: Finding the Point of Maximum Impulse
The apical pulse (point of maximum impulse, PMI) is normally palpated in the 5th intercostal space, just medial to the midclavicular line. This corresponds to the left ventricular apex.
Deviations (lateral/displaced PMI) suggest cardiac enlargement or thoracic deformity.
