HPIM Eponyms Flashcards
Failure of venous pressure to decline during inspiration in constrictive pericarditis, i.e., venous pressure rises. Seen also in:
1. Tricuspid stenosis
2. RV infarction
3. Restrictive cardiomyopathy
KUSSMAUL’S SIGN
Seen in constrictive pericarditis where the apical pulse is reduced and it may retract in systole
BROADBENT’S SIGN
FIVE EPONYMS IN AORTIC REGURGITATION
- Corrigan’s Pulse
- Quincke’s Pulse
- Traube’s Sign
- Duroziez’s Sign
- Austin Flint Murmur
A rapidly rising water-hammer pulse, which collapses suddenly as arterial pressure falls rapidly during late systole and diastole.
CORRIGAN’S PULSE
(Aortic regurgitation)
An alternate flushing and paling of the skin at the root of the nail wihile pressure is applied to the tip of the nail.
Capillary pulsations or QUINCKE’S PULSE
Aortic Regurgitation
A booming pistol-shot sound heard over the femoral arteries
TRAUBE’S SIGN
Aortic Regurgitation
A to-and-fro murmur that is audible if the femoral artery is lightly compressed with a stethoscope.
DUROZIEZ’S SIGN
Aortic Regurgitation
A soft, low-pitched, rumbling mid-to-late diastolic murmur that is probably produced by the diastolic displacement of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve by the AR stream. Not associated with hemodynamically significant MV obstruction.
AUSTIN FLINT MURMUR
In aortic STENOSIS, the low-pitched, rough, and rasping murmur heard best at the base along the 2nd right ICS may be transmitted downward to the apex, where it may be confused with systolic murmur of MR. What is this effect?
GALLAVARDIN EFFECT
This is the blowing holosystolic murmur along the lower left sternal margin in TRICUSPID REGURGITATION. This may be intensified during inspiration, and reduced during expiration or the strain phase of the Valsalva maneuver.
CARVALLO’S SIGN
Head bobbing in aortic regurgitation
DE MUSSET SIGN
