  2. Aortic regurgitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_regurgitation

    Peripheral physical signs of aortic regurgitation are related to the high pulse pressure and the rapid decrease in blood pressure during diastole due to blood returning to the heart from the aorta through the incompetent aortic valve, although the usefulness of some of the eponymous signs has been questioned: [23] Phonocardiograms detect AI by ...

  3. Collapsing pulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapsing_pulse

    Watson's water hammer pulse, also known as Corrigan's pulse or collapsing pulse, is the medical sign (seen in aortic regurgitation) which describes a pulse that is bounding and forceful, [1] rapidly increasing and subsequently collapsing, [2] as if it were the sound of a water hammer that was causing the pulse.

  4. Regurgitation (circulation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regurgitation_(circulation)

    Regurgitation in or near the heart is often caused by valvular insufficiency (insufficient function, with incomplete closure, of the heart valves); for example, aortic valve insufficiency causes regurgitation through that valve, called aortic regurgitation, and the terms aortic insufficiency and aortic regurgitation are so closely linked as ...

  5. De Musset's sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Musset's_sign

    De Musset's sign is a type of rhythmic bobbing of the head in synchrony with the beating of the heart, seen in severe aortic regurgitation. [1]This sign occurs as a result of blood from the aorta regurgitating into the left ventricle due to a defect in the aortic valve.

  6. Pulsus bisferiens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsus_bisferiens

    Pulsus bisferiens, also known as biphasic pulse, is an aortic waveform with two peaks per cardiac cycle, a small one followed by a strong and broad one. [1] It is a sign of problems with the aorta, including aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation, as well as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy causing subaortic stenosis.

  7. List of eponymous medical signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_eponymous_medical_signs

    constrictive pericarditis, tricuspid insufficiency: collapse of distended neck veins in diastole Froment's sign: Jules Froment: neurology: ulnar nerve palsy: patient required to hold paper between thumb and palm (against attempt to withdraw);ability to do so is assessed Gallavardin phenomenon: Louis Gallavardin: cardiology: aortic stenosis

  8. Heart murmur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_murmur

    The exact cause of an Austin Flint murmur is unknown. Hypothesis is that the mechanism of murmur is from the severe aortic regurgitation. In severe aortic regurgitation the jet vibrates the anterior mitral valve leaflet. This causes collision with the mitral inflow during diastole. As such, the mitral valve orifice narrows.

  9. Cardiovascular examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_examination

    The cardiovascular examination is a portion of the physical examination that involves evaluation of the cardiovascular system. The exact contents of the examination will vary depending on the presenting complaint but a complete examination will involve the heart (cardiac examination), lungs (pulmonary examination), belly (abdominal examination) and the blood vessels (peripheral vascular ...
