Clinically, it has been observed on patients under the fluoroscope and may be graphically recorded by the electrokymogram and roentgenkymogram.2-8The information that can be obtained by such clinical procedures is relatively limited. At best, these clinical methods can tell us only whether bulging in systole is or is not present. It is highly probable that slight degrees of bulging...Bibliography1.
