A member asked:
What does carotid pulses +2/4 bilaterally mean with no bruit? abdominal aorta not prominent? femoral pulse +2/4 bilaterally. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All normal: no worries. The 2/4 nomenclature is used by some people but it all sounds completely normal (in other words don't assume you are supposed to be 4/4). Someone did an assessment of your pulses and thought they were fine.
