Sphygmophonia

Sphygmophonia is a rare pathological condition of the cardiovascular system, in which arrhythmia occurs with high blood pressure. The name comes from two Greek words: sphygm (translated as pulse) and phone (sound). Thus, we can say that sphygmophony is determined by high values ​​of the pulse wave with low cardiac output or myocardial collapse.

This is a rare occurrence, as it has a limited range of causes and poses a serious risk to the patient's health and can be fatal. It affects all people, but is more common in middle-aged men due to heart problems. Those at risk are heavy smokers, workers with increased physical activity, as well as people with a hereditary predisposition to this disease. In children and adolescents, a sphygmophone attack may occur due to trauma or stress.
