CASE SERIES: PULSATILE LOWER LIMB VEINS - HAVE A LOOK AT THE HEART
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Respiratory phasic variation is a normal phenomenon in the lower limb veins. Whenever there is evidence of a pulsatile flow or a positive wave seen above the baseline it calls for evaluation of the cardiovascular system. We present three cases of pulsatile wave form in the lower limb veins that had cardiac pathologies.
