Hemodynamics

Question 1

What is the Anacrotic notch

Answer 1

A pre-systolic rise may be seen During early systole. It will occur before the
opening of the aortic valve. This wave typically will be seen only in central aortic pressure monitoring, an aortic root tracing, or in some pathological conditions.
