Abstract
We describe a case of dicrotic pulse in a patient who exhibited marked prolapsed aortic cusp without aortic regurgitation. Echo-Doppler in t he abdominal aorta showed deep reversal flow confined to early diastol e, We conclude that this prolapse was the cause of the steep dicrotic notch and the dicrotic pulse, because of the concomitance of non-leaki ng;aortic valves.
