Riesman's sign is a clinical sign in which there is a change in the rhythm of the pulse in cases of aortic insufficiency. It is named after the German physician David Riesman (1867–1940).
Definition[edit]
Riesman's sign is defined as a change in the rhythm of the pulse in cases of aortic insufficiency. This sign is named after the German physician David Riesman, who first described it in the late 19th century. Aortic insufficiency, also known as aortic regurgitation, is a condition where the aortic valve in the heart does not close tightly, allowing blood to flow back into the left ventricle.
Clinical Significance[edit]
Riesman's sign is used as a diagnostic tool in the detection of aortic insufficiency. It is not a definitive diagnostic tool, but it can provide valuable information in the clinical assessment of a patient with suspected aortic insufficiency. The presence of Riesman's sign, along with other clinical signs and symptoms, can suggest the need for further diagnostic testing, such as echocardiography.
