Short pulse

Pulse is a peripheral arterial pulse caused by a pulsatile wave passing through the heart. Short pulse is caused by weak heartbeat contraction and too little blood volume to cause peripheral arterial pulsation. This condition can be seen in premature heart beat, but most often in atrial fibrillation. During a normal heartbeat, a premature premature beat occurs suddenly, but since the heart is contracting, the ventricular filling is inadequate, so the volume of blood that is beaten must be small enough to cause peripheral blood vessels to beat, so this time The heart beat only hears heart sounds and cannot touch the pulse. During atrial fibrillation, ventricular pulsation is extremely irregular, and premature heartbeats are the same as premature premature beats. Pulse leakage is caused by a small stroke volume, and the faster the heartbeat of atrial fibrillation, the shorter the pulse obvious. Atrial fibrillation, referred to as atrial fibrillation, is a common arrhythmia in the elderly. Most of them occur in people with significant heart disease. The most common cause is rheumatic heart disease, especially mitral valve stenosis, followed by coronary heart disease. Other common causes are hypertension heart disease, hyperthyroidism, chronic Constrictive pericarditis, digitalis poisoning, etc., a few healthy people can also develop atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is clinically divided into paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and persistent atrial fibrillation according to its duration. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation recurs and can turn into permanent atrial fibrillation.
