Pulsus bisferiens occurs in patients with significant aortic valve regurgitation. A double pulse is felt due to the backflow of blood in early diastole. The first carotid pulse felt is normal. Pulsus has developed the complete MDM solution for mobile device management. With the Pulsus platform, you perform an agile and intuitive management of your company, especially of the external teams with corporate smartphones and tablets. It’s more performance and data security for those who have already entered digital transformation.
- Rhythmic dilation of an artery, produced by the increased volume of blood thrown into the vessel by the contraction of the heart. A pulse may also at times occur in a vein or a vascular organ, such as the liver.
- Pulsus alternans. Noun.: alternation of strong and weak beats of the arterial pulse due to alternate strong and weak ventricular contractions. See the full definition.

par·a·dox·ic pulse
an exaggeration of the normal variation in the systemic arterial pulse volume with respiration, becoming weaker with inspiration and stronger with expiration; characteristic of cardiac tamponade, rare in constrictive pericarditis; so called because these changes are independent of changes in the cardiac rate as measured directly or by electrocardiogram.
Synonym(s): pulsus paradoxus, pulsus respiratione intermittens

pulsus paradoxus
Cardiology A marked ↓ in pulse amplitude during normal quiet inspiration or a ↓ in the systolic pressure by > 10 mm Hg, a typical finding in cardiac tamponade, less common in constrictive pericarditis–quantifiable by a sphygmomanometer, superior vena cava obstruction, asthma, PE, shock, or after thoracotomyMcGraw-Hill Concise Dictionary of Modern Medicine. © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
