water-hammer pulse | <radiology> Corrigan's sign: increased pulse at wrist, aortic insufficiency, widened pulse pressure due to increased stroke volume, diastolic regurgitation (12 Dec 1998) |
monocrotic pulse | A pulse without any perceptible dicrotism. Synonym: pulsus monocrotus. (05 Mar 2000) |

plateau pulse | A slow, sustained pulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
wiry pulse | A small, fine, incompressible pulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
cordy pulse | A hard, full pulse but without very wide excursions, resembling the vibration of a thick cord. Synonym: cordy pulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
Corrigan's pulse | <clinical sign> A full hard pulse followed by a sudden collapse easily palpated and occurring in aortic regurgitation. Synonym: Corrigan's pulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
coupled pulse | A pulse in which the beats occur in pairs. Synonym: bigemina, coupled pulse, pulsus bigeminus. (05 Mar 2000) |
half amplitude pulse duration | The time, in milliseconds, required for a wave form to reach half of its full magnitude. (05 Mar 2000) |
hard pulse | A pulse that strikes forcibly against the tip of the finger and is with difficulty compressed, suggesting hypertension. Synonym: pulsus durus. (05 Mar 2000) |
