Subject: Duroziez pulse is correct !!

 Phyllis ... Thank you so much!!  The name Duroziez is correct, and it goes along with Quincke - another type of pulse.  I wish the people these things are named after had easier sounding names!!  I appreciate your help on this very much, as this doctor does not like to be bothered and expects me to know every medical word.


Take care, Judy H

Hi ... Am transcribing a cardiac exam, and the doc said:  "I don't feel a "derosia's" pulse."  I typed it as it sounds, but I can't find that type of pulse in any of my reference books or on the web.  Has anyone heard of this type of pulse?  Thanks if you do
