The pulse in aortic regurgitation is called as Corrigans
pulse or collapsing pulse.
1. It
has rapid upstroke.
2. Rapid
down stroke.
3. ill
sustained peak.
it
is due to the
1. Early
diastolic reflux of blood into the left ventricle.
2. There
is low systemic vascular resistance.
Bisferien’s pulse may be
seen in
1. Moderate
to severe AR.
2. Moderate
AR with mild AS.
What
are the factors that affect pulse in AR
Following factors may affect the pulse volume
in AR.
They are
1. Hypertension.
2. Hypovolemia.
3. Left
ventricular dysfunction.
4. Age
of the patient.
5. Associated
aortic stenosis .
What
are the factors that decrease the pulse volume
1. Hypovolemia.
2. Pulmonary
artery hypertension.
3. Left
ventricular dysfunction.
4. Associated
valvular lesion – aortic stenosis.
What
are the factors which increases the pulse volume in AR
1. Hypertension.
2. Elderly
people.
3. Young
people
