Correct Answer: Aoic stenosis
Description: A weak and delayed pulse ( pulsus parvus et tardus ) defines severe aoic stenosis (AS). Some patients with AS may also have a slow, notched, or interrupted upstroke (anacrotic pulse) with a thrill or shudder. With chronic severe AR, by contrast, the carotid upstroke has a sharp rise and rapid fall-off (Corrigan's or waterhammer pulse). ref : Harrison&;s principle of internal medicine,20th editionpg no.1553
