Pulsus tardus et parvus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In medicine, pulsus tardus et parvus, more commonly known as slow-rising pulse, is a sign where, on palpation of the pulse, the pulse is late (tardus) (relative to contraction of the heart) and weak/small (parvus). Classically, it is seen in aortic valve stenosis.
