Pulsation Retrosternal

Retrosternal pulsation is a medical term used to describe pulsation in the sternum. This can be due to various diseases and conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, injury, etc.

Retrosternal pulsation can occur due to an increase in blood volume in the heart or lungs, which leads to increased pressure in these organs. This can impair blood flow and cause chest pain.

Various methods are used to diagnose retrosternal pulsation, including ultrasound, radiography and computed tomography. Treatment depends on the cause of the throbbing and may include medication, surgery, or lifestyle changes.

In general, retrosternal pulsation is an important symptom that may indicate serious illness. Therefore, if you experience chest pain or other unusual sensations, you should see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Retrosternal pulsation is one of the methods for diagnosing various diseases of the heart and blood vessels. This method allows you to assess the condition of the arteries and veins, as well as the quality of the heart.

To conduct a retrosternal pulsation study, the following procedure is performed:

The doctor places his hands on the patient's chest, placing them on either side of the xiphoid process. The doctor is in a standing or sitting position opposite the patient.

The patient should relax and exhale completely. After this, the doctor presses lightly on the patient's chest with one hand, and gently pushes it up with the other hand. At the same time, it controls the pulsation in the carotid arteries located in front.

Then the doctor switches hands and repeats the procedure on the other side of the chest
