A member asked:
My pulse is stronger in my left hand/arm, what could cause this?

Vascular disease: If one were to have a blocked artery on the side of the weaker pulse, then vascular disease is probable. Alternatively a coarcatation of the aorta could produce this finding if the coarct is befor the left subclavian artery.

Get BP checked by MD: If your pulse volume is different in both arms, it could be concerning. Get checked by md both pulse and bp. Typically concerns are blockages in the arm where pulse is weaker, aortic dissection , cervical rib compressing on blood vessel . Masses compressing on blood vessel etc..
