<Li> 4 = Aneurysmal or bounding pulse </Li> <P> Also known as compressibility of pulse . It is a rough measure of systolic blood pressure . </P> <P> It corresponds to diastolic blood pressure . A low tension pulse (pulsus mollis), the vessel is soft or impalpable between beats . In high tension pulse (pulsus durus), vessels feel rigid even between pulse beats . </P> <P> A form or contour of a pulse is palpatiory estimation of arteriogram . A quickly rising and quickly falling pulse (pulsus celer) is seen in aortic regurgitation . A slow rising and slowly falling pulse (pulsus tardus) is seen in aortic stenosis . </P>
