Korotkoff's sounds |
0.03 sec. |
|
Korotkoff's sounds sounds heard during auscultatory determination of blood pressure in humans, thought to be produced by vibratory motion of the arterial wall as the artery suddenly distends when compressed by a pneumatic blood pressure cuff. Origin of the sound may be within the blood passing through the vessel or within the wall itself. How to thank TFD for its existence?
