PULSE DEFINITION: Pulse is the palpability over peripheral arteries, a pulse wave which is a transmitted wave from the root of aorta along the vessel wall traveling 10 times faster than blood. Blood travels at speed of - .5 mt/sec. Pulse travels at speed of - 5 mt/sec.
Slide 3-

PULSE WAVE The arterial pulse reflects the performance of LV “Mirror of the heart” It is propagated by incompressible blood both forwards and laterally. The lateral movement distends the arterial wall and is felt as pulse.
Slide 4-

PULSE - HISTORY HIPPOCRATES – 4TH CENTURY BC Thought that arteries are air ducts GALEN Arteries contain blood & not air. HEROPHILUS Recognized that arterial pulses & cardiac pulses were synchronous.
Slide 5-

PULSE - HISTORY Nei Ching Su Weri – The yellow emperors book of medicine. The oldest book of medicine still existing. It quotes that chief means of diagnosis than was pulse. It was palpated for hours in a dozen sites It was noted whether strong or weak regular or irregular At that time as watches were not invented pulse was timed by the physicians respiratory excursions.
Slide 6-

Determinents of Arterial pulse Left Ventricle: Stroke volume LV contractility Velocity of LV ejection Aortic Valve : Normal Stenosis Regurgitation Both stenosis and regurgitation Arterial system: Compliance or distensibility Peripheral vascular resistance Aortic run off
Slide 7-

BLOOD FLOW LV pressure when it rises above aortic pressure becomes driving force for movement of blood into aorta Driving force is dependent on 1) Contractility 2) Size & shape of LV 3) Heart rate. This driving force is opposed by several forces that impede the flow 1) Resistance2) Inertia3) Compliance

PULSE WAVE COMPONENTS Percussion wave is impulse generated by LV ejection Tidal wave is percussion wave reflected from upper part of the body Dicrotic wave is reflected from lower part of the body often recorded but not palpable Anacrotic notch occurs towards the end of rapid ejection phase just before max pressure is reached Incisura Occurs in Isovolumic relaxation phase prior to aortic valve closure. Upstroke comes with S1 Peak is reached well before S2

CENTRAL PULSE The central pulse begins with AV opening and onset of LV ejection The rapid rising portion of the arterial pressure curve is termed anacrotic limb (Greek – upbeat) An anacrotic notch is frequently recorded on the ascending limb towards the end of rapid ejection phase. Peak Aortic flow velocity occurs slightly earlier than the peak pressure. The Pulse shows 2 systolic waves “Percussion wave” and “Tidal wave”
Slide 14-

CENTRAL PULSE The descending limb of the carotid arterial pulse is less steep than the ascending limb The descending limb is interrupted by a incisura a sharp downward deflection in end systole related to isovolumic relaxation phase The subsequent small positive “dicrotic wave” is attributed to 1) Elastic recoil of aorta and AV 2) Reflected waves from most distal arteries.
Slide 15-

ALTERATIONS IN CENTRAL PULSE PERIPHERALLY Upstroke becomes steeper Systolic peak becomes higher Anacrotic notch disappears Systolic upstroke time becomes shorter (120msec)
Slide 16-

CENTRAL PULSE PERIPHERAL PULSE
Slide 17-

ALTERATIONS IN CENTRAL PULSE PERIPHERALLY Systolic ejection time becomes more (320msec) The dicrotic notch occurs much later Systolic pressure increases Diastolic pressure & mean pressure decreases
Slide 18-

CAUSES FOR CHANGE IN CENTRAL PULSE CONTOUR WHEN TRANSMITTED PERIPHERALLY 1)Distortion & damping of pulse wave components 2) Different rates of transmission of various components 3) Differences in distensibility & caliber of arteries 4) Changes in the vessel wall due to age & or disease
Slide 19-

CHANGES IN PULSE WITH AGING 1) Increase in the height of tidal wave 2) Increase in the height of the incisura 3) Systolic upstroke time is longer 4) Amplitude & duration of dicrotic wave decreases Normally PW is taller than TW and TW is not palpable. In old age, diabetes & arteriosclerosis TW is taller and this is clinically appreciated as the pulse reaching a peak in late systole.

Localization of arteries The CCA terminates at C4 level at upper border of thyroid cartilage The ECA is palpated medial to the sternocleidomastoid above upper border of the thyroid cartilage The ICA is palpated placing a hand in the mouth and palpating the tonsillar fauces. The subclavian artery is felt in the posterior triangle. With the shoulder depressed, pressure is exerted down back and medially in the angle between sternocleidomastoid and clavicle.
Slide 22-

Localization of arteries Brachial-Palpation of the right brachial pulse is accomplished with the thumb of the examiners right hand as the patients arm lies supinated at his or her side Axillary- compression against the humerus.
Slide 23-

RADIAL For radial pulse palpation the pts hand should be supinated & comfortably supported. The examiners thumb or tip of a single finger preferably the index is applied to the pulse. In infants palpation of radial pulse has inherent limitations 1) Radial artery is very small 2) Padding of subcutaneous fat is more.

JERKY PULSE Jerky pulse is a pulse with a brisk or sharp upstroke that literally taps against the palpating fingers. The pulse volume is not increased Rapid upstroke / Normal downstroke / Normal volume Seen typically in HCM
Slide 38-

COLLAPSING OR WATER HAMMER PULSE Thomas Watson(1844) coined the term after victorian toy. The collapsing pulse is due to : i) Diastolic run off into the LV ii) Reflex vasodilatation mediated by carotid baroreceptors secondary to large stroke volume iii) Rapid run off from the periphery due to decreased systemic vascular resistance. Best appreciated at the radial pulse with the palmer side of the examiner’s hand and with the patient’s arm suddenly elevated above the shoulder. This may be related to the artery becoming more in the line with the central aorta, allowing direct systolic ejection and diastolic backward flow.

Slide 42-

PERIPHERAL SIGNS OF AR ABDOMEN 17) Rosenbachs sign - Liver Pulsation 18) Gerhardts sign - Splenic Pulsation 19) Dennison’s sign - Presence of pulsations in cervix
Slide 43-

Bisferiens pulse Normally percussion wave is felt but not the tidal wave. In all the conditions where percussion wave is prominent, tidal wave also becomes prominent. Mechanism: In combined AS and AR, the stenotic component permits a jet, & lateral to the jet there is a fall in pressure( Bernoulli Phenomenon), this results in a dip or inward movement in the pulse with secondary outward movement in a pulse or tidal wave.
Slide 44-

Bisferiens pulse
Slide 45-

Bisferiens pulse Normally both waves are prominent in patients with severe AR. In HOCM, the initial part of left ventricular ejection is rapid, resulting in rapid upstroke. As obstruction to the outflow starts later in the systole, due to SAM, a sudden interruption to left ventricular ejection occurs resulting in a dip in the pressure pulse followed by the slow rising pulse wave, which is characteristic of HOCM ( spike and dome pattern). The percussion wave is more prominent than tidal wave in HOCM. Seen in Severe AR,AS with AR,HOCM,hyperkinetic circulatory state,after exercise
Slide 46-

DICROTIC PULSE Dicrotic pulse has an accentuated dicrotic wave and hence is a twice beating pulse, one in systole and one in diastole. Requirements : 1) Hypotension 2) Reduced Peripheral Vascular Resistance When the reflection wave travels rapidly and meets the original wave well in advance, it is lost in it. In rigid and nondistensible arterial system, as in SHT, dicrotic pulse in never present. It is differentiated from the bisferiens pulse by the simultaneous auscultation of the heart sounds.
Slide 47-

DICROTIC PULSE It is more noticeable in the beat following a PVC. It is better appreciated during inspiration or inhalation of amyl nitrite. IABP-augmented wave due to diastolic flow occlusion in descending aorta Rarely present when BP > 130 mmHg and in patients beyond 50 years of age.
Slide 48-

DICROTIC PULSE 1) Healthy young adults 2) Fever 3) Hypovolemic shock 4) CCF 5) Cardiac tamponade 6) Sepsis 7) Post AVR 8) IABP
Slide 49-

TWICE BEATING PULSE Anacrotic, Bisferiens ,Dicrotic Differentiation: The double peaking occurs A) On the upstroke in Anacrotic; late peaking B) On the peak in Bisferiens- Both in Systole; rapid rising C) On the downstroke in Dicrotic ; normal rising One in Systole & One in Diastole
Slide 50-

PULSUS PARADOXUS Paradox about the pulse is absence of pulse during inspiration but presence of heart sounds & was coined by Adolph Kussmaul in 1873. Suspected if the pulse varies with inspiration in all accessible arteries. MISNOMER- the term paradoxus is that normally there is a fall in BP during inspiration (4-6mm/hg) which in PP is exaggerated (>10mm/hg)
Slide 51-

PULSUS PARADOXUS LV filling is reduced during inspiration because exaggerated RV filling causes 1) Leftward shift of IVS reducing LV volume & diastolic compliance 2) Elevated intrapericardial pressure which is transmitted to the LA but not the extraparenchymal pulmonary veins and hence a decreased pulmonary vein – LA pressure gradient 3)Inspiratory pooling of blood in the pulmonary bed produces decline in LA and LV filling. [Underfilled LV may be operating in the steep ascending limb of Starling curve so that any inspiratory reduction of LV filling results in marked depression of the LV stroke volume and the systolic pressure].
Slide 52-

Pulsus paradoxus
Slide 53-

MEASUREMENT To detect pulsus paradoxus inflate the cuff rapidly above the systolic pressure and then slowly deflate it. The difference of the systolic pressure at which sounds are first heard only during expiration and later during both expiration and inspiration is a measure of the magnitude of PP.
Slide 54-

PULSUS PARADOXUS - CAUSES Physiological - 1) Obesity 2) Pregnancy RS - 3) Bronchial Asthma 4) Emphysema 5) COPD 6) Large Bilateral Pleural effusion
Slide 55-

PULSUS PARADOXUS - CAUSES CVS 7) Cardiac Tamponade 8) Constrictive Pericarditis (1/3rd) 9) Hypovolemic shock 10) Pulmonary embolism 11) RV Infarct 12) Cardiomyopathy 13) SVC Obstruction 14) Post Thoracotomy
Slide 56-

DETERMINANTS OF PP 1) Venous return 2) LV afterload 3) Diastolic ventricular interdependence 4) Lung volume 5) Circulatory reflexes The principal determinant is underfilling of LV during inspiration in relation to RV
Slide 57-

PULSUS PARADOXUS CARDIAC CAUSE Inspiratory increase in venous pressure (Kussmauls sign) RESPIRATORY CAUSE Expiratory increase in venous pressure.
Slide 58-

CARDIAC TAMPONADE WITHOUT PP 1) LVH 2) RVH 3) PHT 4) ASD,VSD 5) AR 6) Regional Tamponade Mechanism for absence of PP is lack of competitive ventricular filling during inspiration.
Slide 59-

REVERSED PP In Reversed Pulsus Paradoxus there is an increase in systemic pressure with inspiration HOCM : Mechanism unknown. 2) Isorhythmic AV dissociation : Atrial activity precedes QRS during inspiration and marches into QRS during expiration. The atrial activity during inspiration increases the stroke volume and its lack during expiration decreases the stroke volume and systolic pressure. 3) IPPV : Intrathoracic pressure is higher during inspiration and lower during expiration.
Slide 60-

PULSUS ALTERNANS Beats occur at regular intervals but in which there is a regular attenuation of the systolic height of the pressure pulse. It was first described by Traube in 1872. Pulsus Alternans is a peripheral manifestation of LV failure 1) Alteration in the height of the pressure pulse 2) Alteration in the rate of rise. It is the latter that is appreciated during palpation.
Slide 61-

PULSUS ALTERNANS PA is better felt in distal vessels than proximal- rate of rise & peak pressure developed are accentuated during peripheral transmission of the arterial pulse pressure. Light pressure is applied to palpate Pulsus alternans. Mild degree of PA is detected by sphygmomanometer. Inflate the BP cuff rapidly above SBP and then deflate slowly until Korotkoffs sounds are audible. At this point beats are heard at one half of the heart rate. When the cuff is deflated further the rate doubles.
Slide 62-

PULSUS ALTERNANS - MECHANISM It is due to alteration of the contractile state of at least part of the myocardium, caused by failure of electromechanical coupling in some cells during weaker contraction. Alternate more and less number of contractile elements participate in each contraction. Correlates with alteration in intensity f Korotkoff sounds.
Slide 63-

Types of Pulsus Alternans: Total: When the weak beat is not percieved at all or when involving both sides of the heart. Partial: When invloving only RV ( as in PE) or LV (as in AS). Concordant alternans: Simultaneous alternans of right and left ventricles. Discordant alternans: Alternating alternans of right and left ventricles.
Slide 64-

HOW TO LOOK FOR PA Regular HR Felt in peripheral arteries 3) Light pressure should be applied 4) Breath should be held in mid expiration 5) Can be brought out or exaggerated by decreasing venous return by a) Sitting b) Standing c) Head up tilting 6) It is usually associated with S3.
Slide 65-

PVC, rapid atrial pacing, IVC occlusion, myocardial ischemia and intracoronary injection of contrast during coronary arteriography are known to induce alternans. By infusion of nitroglycerine, Valsalva maneuver and in the presence of aortic regurgitation or systemic hypertension, pulsus alternans can be exaggerated.
Slide 66-

PULSUS ALTERNANS - CAUSES LV Failure of any cause Myocarditis,DCM Acute pulmonary embolism Severe AS with failure Severe PS with failure Severe AR with failure specially after aortic valve replacement. Briefly during or after supraventricular tachycardia Severe systemic hypertension. Transient right ventricular outflow occlusion during balloon dilatation of pulmonary stenosis.
Slide 67-

DIFFERENTIATING PA FROM BIGEMINY 1) Pulsus Alternans is associated with LVS3 2) In PA the interval between the weak & strong beats are equal 3) In Pulsus Bigeminy the weaker beats arise prematurely and the stronger beats occur after a pause resulting in ventricular cycles that are alternatively short and long.

Slide 71-

RADIOFEMORAL DELAY It is not the delayed arrival of the femoral pulse wave but instead a slow rate of rise to a delayed peak. CAUSES : Coarctation of Aorta. Occlusive disease of the bifurcation of the aorta, common iliac or external iliac arteries. RIGHT RFD- Supravalvular AS

Slide 83-

Points to remember 1)If the arterial pulse is regular in a patient with established atrial fibrillation on digitalis therapy, digitoxicity with AV nodal rhythm should be considered. 2)Presence of dicrotic wave always suggests a grave prognosis. 3) Severe MR with good LV function results in normal volume collapsing pulse. This is due to rapid ejection by the LV with the advantage of lesser afterload and more preload. With the onset of LV dysfunction, pulse loses its collapsing character 4)Electrical alternans has no relationship to pulsus alternans
