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.
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.
The carotid pulse is typically a slow-rising, small-volume pulse (pulsus parvus et tardus) in severe stenosis. Palpation frequently reveals a forceful, non-displaced apex beat caused by ventricular hypertrophy.
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.
14 Φεβ 2022 · In general, a hyperkinetic or bounding carotid pulse indicates an increase in stroke volume as in fevers, exercise, anxiety, thyrotoxicosis, aortic regurgitation, or a large ventricular septal defect. A hypokinetic or weak carotid pulse is suggestive of a reduced stroke volume such as in hypovolemia, left ventricular failure, or mitral stenosis.
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.
