	'''Watson's Water Hammer Pulse''', also known as '''Corrigan's Pulse''' or '''Collapsing Pulse''', is a medical sign indicative of [[Aortic regurgitation\|aortic regurgitation]] and other conditions that feature a significant increase in pulse pressure. The pulse is characterized by a rapid, forceful expansion followed by a sudden collapse, reminiscent of the Victorian toy known as a water hammer, which made a sound like a hammer blow when fluid inside it was abruptly stopped.
