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.
It may also be helpful to know about their caffeine intake, if deep breathing or changing positions can stop the palpitations, or how the palpitations start and stop - do they begin and end suddenly or gradually, does the heartbeat feel regular or irregular, how fast does the pulse get during an episode, etc.
The thumb should not be used for measuring another person's heart rate, as its strong pulse may interfere with the correct perception of the target pulse. [citation needed] The radial artery is the easiest to use to check the heart rate. However, in emergency situations the most reliable arteries to measure heart rate are carotid arteries.
The physical examination to diagnose cardiac arrest focuses on the absence of a pulse. [30] In many cases, lack of a central pulse (carotid arteries or subclavian arteries) is the gold standard. Lack of a pulse in the periphery (radial/pedal) may also result from other conditions (e.g. shock) or be the rescuer's misinterpretation.

During September 2018, for Google Chrome's 10th birthday, a birthday cake causing the dinosaur to wear a birthday hat when collected was added. [ 205 ]
In fluid dynamics, a flow with periodic variations is known as pulsatile flow, or as Womersley flow.The flow profiles was first derived by John R. Womersley (1907–1958) in his work with blood flow in arteries. [1]
It’s where you get in a boat going at a high rate of speed, you jump off the side of the boat, don’t dive, you’re jumping off feet first and you just kinda lean into the water,” he said ...
Aortic regurgitation (AR), also known as aortic insufficiency (AI), is the leaking of the aortic valve of the heart that causes blood to flow in the reverse direction during ventricular diastole, from the aorta into the left ventricle.
