| reversed paradoxical pulse | A pulse in which the amplitude increases with inspiration and decreases with expiration, as observed in some cases of tricuspid insufficiency and during A-V dissociation with sinus arrhythmia. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Riegel's pulse | A pulse that diminishes in volume during expiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| guttural pulse | A pulsation felt in the throat. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |

| 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) |
