-- The first section of this topic is shown below --
- Pulsus parvus: Weak upstroke due to decreased stroke volume (hypovolemia, LV failure, aortic or mitral stenosis [MS]) (Fig. 112-1)
- Pulsus tardus: Delayed upstroke (aortic stenosis [AS])
- Bounding (hyperkinetic) pulse: Hyperkinetic circulation, aortic regurgitation, patent ductus arteriosus, marked vasodilation
- Pulsus bisferiens: Double systolic pulsation (aortic regurgitation, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)
- Pulsus alternans: Regular alteration in pulse pressure amplitude (severe LV dysfunction)
- Pulsus paradoxus: Exaggerated inspiratory fall (>10 mmHg) in systolic bp (typical of pericardial tamponade; also seen in severe obstructive lung disease, massive pulmonary embolism, tension pneumothorax)
