    What causes the change in heart rate and pulse rate with exercise is that during exercise, it requires the heart to pump more blood out to specific organs at a faster rate in order for the organs to send the necessary amount of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles involved in exercise so that they keep working. Heart rate equals pulse rate at rest and after exercise because blood flows towards the heart and radial and carotid arteries at the same rate along the same pathway, or loop. The change in

    Hospitals use lactate levels to determine improvement and degradation of their patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and other care wards.
