Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Pulsus bisferiens is Latin for 'beat twice'. This describes the pulse where two systolic beats are palpated each cardiac cycle with an interposed mid-systolic dip. The earliest reference to the pulsus bisferiens is an edition of Galen's de Pulsibus, published in 1532. Galen was insistent that the pulsus bisferiens is characterized by 'quies media ictus' - a central pause in the stroke. Normally, the character of the pulse is best palpated in central arteries, e.g. the carotid artery. Pulsus bisferiens is the exception, however, as it is most easily palpated in the peripheral arterial system, e.g. the radial artery. |
