A member asked:
Are bounding peripheral pulses bad? what does "2+" mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Intensity of the pulses are graded on a scale of 0 to 4 +:0 indicating no palpable pulse; 1 + indicating a faint, but detectable pulse; 2 + suggesting a slightly more diminished pulse than normal; 3 + is a normal pulse; and 4 + indicating a bounding pulse. A bounding pulse may indicate excitement, palpitations, or heart irregularities. Get checked if you have bounding pulses.
