    1. CIRCULATORY SYSTEM. Pulse [radial]. It is often desirable to make several observations d/wring the exami- nation of the patient. Rate, i.e. number per Tninute (frequent, infrequent). Rhythm (regular,irregular, jerky,intermittent—degree of intermittence, regular or irregular, alternating—dicrotic, continuous). Duration of beat (quick, sharp, slow). Volume (small, thready, large, full, bounding). Foice and tension (strong, weak, feeble, soft, hard, rigid, wiry, compressible, incompressible, tremulous, flutter- ing, irregular, falling or collapsing or locomotive or water-hammer or Corrigan's, diminution or disappearance on full inspiration). Unduly visible. Tortuous. Effects of posture. Differences on opposite sides. Sphygmographic tracings. Sphygmanometric tracings. CARDIAC AREA, OR PRECORDIAL REGION. Pain [for terms employed in characterising, vide p. 12]. TendemesS. Abnormal sensations; fluttering, palpitation (relation to exertion, if occurring at night and waking patient), sinking, opj)ression, as of stopping of heart. Syncope ; frequency, time, and circumstance of occurrence. Associated with chill, vertigo, nausea, dyspnoea—violent emotion. Shape (bulged, flattened, depressed). Impulse, visible and palpable; position (normal, displaced), area (limited, diffused—extent of), force (increased, diminished, feeble, imperceptible to sight or touch), character (thumping, heaving, undulating, quick, abrupt, jerky, prolonged, fluttering, double), rhythm (regular, irregular), point of time of occur- rence in cycle of heart's heat (systolic, diastolic), effect of change of posture and of respiratory movements. Basic impulse. Epigastric pulsation. Retraction of intercostal spaces with cardiac systole, or immediately after impulse. Cardiographic tracings. Thrill; situation of, time of (presystolic, systolic or diastolic). Pericardial friction fremitus; seat of. Fluctuation; area of.
