Pulsus tardus et parvus
From Self-sufficiency
In medicine, pulsus tardus et parvus, also pulsus parvus et tardus, slow-rising pulse and anacrotic pulse, is a sign where, upon palpation, the pulse is weak/small (parvus), and late (tardus) relative to its usually expected character.
It is seen in aortic valve stenosis.[1]
With respect to aortic stenosis, "typical findings include a narrow pulse pressure, LVH, a harsh late-peaking systolic murmur heard best at the right second intercostal space with radiation to the carotid arteries, and a delayed slow-rising carotid upstroke (pulsus parvus et tardus)."[2]
