A member asked:

Read about bisferiens pulse and am paranoid thinking lookin for double beat. would auscultation with a stethoscope by doc be enough to rule this out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Easy to detect: The bisferiens pulse is easy to identify to the experienced clinician by way of either palpation or auscultation....or even an iPhone camera app! But why are you PARANOID about this pulse? Are you in septic shock, heart failure, tamponade, or do you have severe heart disease? You must relax and realize that such a pulse for someone like you is rather rare. Wanna talk: www.healthtap.com/drsaghafi
