Pulsus Alternans

Pulsus Alternans. [Source]

Pulsus alternans is found in patients with acute left ventricular failure. Alternate weak and strong pulses occur, which are regularly placed. A pathological third heart sound is usually associated. The condition may be associated with heart failure or pericarditis for example, but is not usually seen in association with pericardial effusion.
