Amplitude/volume Of Pulse

Question 1

Causes for high volume pulse (hyperkinetic)

Answer 1

Anything that increases cardiac output

Amplitude of upstroke increases
High cardiac output and low PR
Dicrotic wave becomes less prominent

Question 2

High volume pusle with low cardiac output

Answer 2

Elderly
CHD

Question 3

Cardiac output is

Answer 3

Cardiac output=stroke volume *heart rate

Question 4

Collapsing pulse is

Answer 4

Corrigans Or waterhammer pulse is

Brisk upstroke
High amplitude
Rapid decent

Question 5

Collapsing pulse is seen in

Answer 5

Two outlets to aorta

1.Aortic regurgitation
2.Aoryic sinus rupture
3.Aorto pulmonary window
4.patent ductus arteriosus

Question 6

Hypokinetic pulse is seen in

Answer 6

Stroke volume low
LV dysfunction

Question 7

Pulse of aortic regurgitation

Answer 7

High volume
Collapsing

Question 8

Pulse of aortic stenosis

Answer 8

No change in mild AS

IN severe aortic stenosis

Slow rising pulse/anacrotic pulse/pulses tardus

Very severe AS
PULSUS PARVUS ET TARDUS
