Channel: Cardiology and Beyond
Date: 18/05/2021

Hi, welcome back! Today's video deals with production of an arterial pulse along with all the factors that contribute to its amplitude and contour. Hope your interest gets piqued because there will be a lot more videos on the pulse as it is one of the most informative clinical finding in a cardiac patient. 

❓ Active recall questions:
1. What is the purpose of the arterial system?
2. What is felt when you palpate the arterial pulse?
3. What affects the radius of the arterial system in the Laplace’s law?
4. What is difference between pressure pulse wave and blood flow in the arteries?
5. What are the components of the arterial pulse wave contour?
6. What factors are responsible for the production of an arterial pulse wave?
