Letting villain take your pulse while in a hand is -EV.
 
And some people are abnormally tachy or bradycardic, so somebody who runs 15 miles a week and just woke up and is still sleepy might have a resting heart rate lower than 45 (my personal lowest), I hear Lance Armstrong's resting heartrate is in the low thirties... so while the normal range is between 60-100 for an adult, an escalation of 30-40% of somebody could fall in the normal range.  And even if you do have your opponent on a pulse oxymeter (displays % of O2 in blood and your pulse, sits on your fingertip), you could have an escalated heart rate from a number of factors at the poker table, not limited to but including bluffing, having a monster hand, the porn on the TV behind you, loving poker, laughter, a recent cigarrette, being in a fight, or incoming mortars (however the incoming mortars is pretty much not a threat in such large casinos...  Plus, who shoots mortars at a casino?)
 
There are a myriad of tells, and if you have excellent vision and excellent attention to detail, I'm sure you can pick up on more of them than most, however, the average player I'm sure will have to go more off of villain's actions and the story he tells.
