Pulse Icon
pulse · Medicine · 6 styles
The Pulse icon belongs to the Medicine set of Solar Icons for Angular. It is one of 32 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Pulse lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "pulse", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
The drawing communicates live activity and vital signs. That places Pulse in the Medicine family, which covers health, treatment and clinical objects and turns up in patient records, appointment flows, prescription lists and symptom checkers. Teams building healthtech and pharmacy products reach for this set first. Use Pulse where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Pulse in 6 styles
Pulse exists in 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

You register only the variants you actually render, so nothing unused reaches the bundle. Import PulseBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/medicine" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for pulse live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { PulseBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/medicine';

If Pulse is not quite the shape you want, Heart Pulse, Heart Pulse2 and Pulse2 share part of its name and often work as substitutes.
Elsewhere in the library
Across the rest of the set, Alt Arrow Left, Square Arrow Right, Password Minimalistic, Gamepad Minimalistic, Cart Cross and Undo Left Round Square cover neighbouring ideas; the name "pulse" is 5 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
Pulse icon FAQ
- How do I use the pulse icon in Angular?
- Import PulseBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/medicine", register it with provideSolarIcons(PulseBold) and render <solar-icon name="pulse" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Pulse support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of pulse?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Pulse inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
