A member asked:
A reason a patient might not have a palpable pulse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Important sign: If the patient is otherwise healthy-looking, not in shock or worse, it's a warning that the arteries nearer the heart are acute or chronically compromised. Plenty of older folks lose pulses in the feet from atherosclerosis. Sudden loss of a pulse is very serious.
