The blood is thus driven into th» aorta with greatforce, distending the arteries to an extreme fullness, which, however, fallspromptly away, because of the backward flow into the ventricle at the sametime with the forward movement into arteries and capillaries. This suddenfalling away of the pulse, from extreme distention to collapse, is verj^ char-acteristic of this form of valviolar disease, and is called the trip-hammeror water-hammer pulse, also Corrigan pulse. To the careful observer itmay even be visible in the exposed arteries, such as the corotid, temporal,and radial, while the aortic beat, ordinarily beyond reach in the suprasternalnotch, may be felt in this situation. The abrupt jerking impulse vnth. sudden recoil is easily recognized bythe finger on
