Regular throbbing of the arteries (5)

I believe the answer is:

pulse

(Other definitions for pulse that I've seen before include "Rhythmic throb" , "lentils etc" , "Heart beat - peas, beans etc" , "Beat or throb of heart" , "often sought medically?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
