Atherosclerotic plaque detection by carotid ultrasound provides cardiovascular disease risk stratification. The advantages and disadvantages of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound methods for carotid arterial plaque quantification are reviewed.
Assessment of the carotid arteries involves auscultation followed by palpation. This assessment provides information about cardiac function and the quality of blood flow through the artery. Unobstructed blood flow is silent, whereas partial obstruction of blood flow (due to. carotid stenosis.
19 Σεπ 2024 · A bounding pulse is a forceful or exaggerated heartbeat felt over an artery in the arms, legs, feet, or neck. Most causes of bounding pulses are normal compensatory responses of the heart. They include fever, anxiety, pregnancy, exercise, anemia, and hyperthyroidism.
8 Αυγ 2023 · Water hammer pulse is a physical exam finding that describes a bounding, forceful pulse with a rapid upstroke and descent. It is seen in many physiological and pathological conditions but is most often associated with aortic regurgitation.
The carotid pulse is characterized by a smooth, relatively rapid upstroke and a smooth, more gradual downstroke, interrupted only briefly at the pulse peak. These palpable pulsatile changes in the carotid arterial diameter are virtually identical to the intraluminal pressure pulse.
What should the healthcare provider consider? Although other pulses can be taken simultaneously to assess equality, the carotid pulses are NEVER taken at the same time. Gently palpate one artery at a time so that you do not stimulate the vagus nerve and compromise arterial blood flow to the brain.
5 Ιουλ 2005 · Among these are the bounding carotid pulse (Corrigan’s pulse), head bobbing (de Musset’s sign), pulsation of the uvula (Muller’s sign), and pistol shot sounds over the femoral artery with compression (Traube’s sign).
