|---|---|
| MVE | mitral valve echo; mitral valve excursion; Murray Valley encephalitis |
| RAGE | rapid gradient echo |
| STEAM | stimulated echo acquisition mode |

| 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) |
| collapsing pulse | <radiology> Corrigan's sign: increased pulse at wrist, aortic insufficiency, widened pulse pressure due to increased stroke volume, diastolic regurgitation (12 Dec 1998) |
| piston pulse | <radiology> Corrigan's sign: increased pulse at wrist, aortic insufficiency, widened pulse pressure due to increased stroke volume, diastolic regurgitation (12 Dec 1998) |
| mousetail pulse | A pulse marked by a wave, the apex of which is reached suddenly and which then subsides very gradually. Synonym: mousetail pulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| movable pulse | The lateral movement of a strongly pulsating tortuous artery. (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) |
| pulse | <cardiology, physiology> The impulse transmitted to arteries by contraction of the left ventricle of the heart. Customarily palpated at the radial artery in the wrist. The pulse can provide information concerning the number of cardiac contractions per minute (rate) and the overall regularity of the contractions (rhythm). (15 Dec 1997) |
