Differential diagnosis of causes of pulsus bisferiens
Classically, it is detected when aortic insufficiency exists in association with aortic stenosis, but may also be found in isolated but severe aortic insufficiency, and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
The first lift is due to "percussion wave"(P) and the second lift is due to tidal wave (T).
