Anisosphygmia
Posted by: Johnson Francis on: 20 Sep, 2009
Anisosphygmia may be seen in all of the following except:
a. Aortic regurgitation
b. Takayasu arteritis
c. Aortic dissection
d. Supra valvar aortic stenosis
Answer: a
Anisosphygmia or difference in the pulse volume / systolic pressure between two sides can occur in aortic dissection, Takayasu arteritis and supra valvar aortic stenosis. In supra valvar aortic stenosis it is due to the direction of the jet to the right (Coanda effect).
