@clinician.insight: 🫀😳 Why are the arteries in his arm visibly POUNDING with every heartbeat? This striking finding is called Corrigan's pulse (Water-Hammer Pulse) 💥 🧠 Most commonly associated with: 👉 Severe Aortic Regurgitation When the aortic valve leaks: • Blood is forcefully ejected during systole 🚀 • Then rapidly flows back into the left ventricle during diastole ⬅️ ⚡ The result? A wide pulse pressure and dramatic, bounding arterial pulsations that can sometimes be seen with the naked eye. 👀 Other classic signs: • De Musset's sign (head bobbing) • Quincke's sign (nailbed pulsations) • Hill's sign • Pistol-shot femoral sounds 📌 Clinical pearl: 👉 "Visible bounding pulses + wide pulse pressure = think severe aortic regurgitation." One of the most impressive bedside findings in cardiology! 🫀🔥 #aorticregurgitation #corriganspulse #waterhammerpulse #cardiology #clinicalsigns #medicaltiktok #medtok #doctorsoftiktok #learnmedicine #medicaleducation #futuredoctor #medstudent #hospital #medicine #heartdisease #cardiacexam #clinicalpearls #viralreels
