Alternative NamesBounding pulse
Considerations- A bounding pulse can often be seen in arteries that are close to the skin.
- A bounding pulse may be a sign of excessive fluid in the circulation (fluid overload).
- A rapid heart rate (tachycardia) and bounding pulse can occur together or separately.
- A rapid pulse can be a symptom of arrhythmia.
A bounding pulse and rapid heart rate both occur in the following conditions or events:
- Anxiety
- Heavy exercise
- Fever
- Pregnancy
- Overactivy thyroid
A bounding pulse can result from fluid overload due to heart failure, chronic kidney failure, and other conditions. It may also occur in aortic valve regurgitation.
Call your health care provider ifCall your health care provider if you experience a sudden, severe, or persistent increase in the intensity or rate of your pulse. This is particularly important when this increase is accompanied by other symptoms, or when it is not relieved by resting for a few minutes.
What to expect at your health care provider's officeYour health care provider will perform a physical examination that includes checking your temperature, pulse, rate of breathing, and blood pressure. Your heart and circulation will also be examined.
Your provider will ask questions such as:
- Is this the first time you have felt a bounding pulse?
- Did it develop suddenly or gradually?
- Is it present continuously, or only from time to time?
- Does it get better if you rest?
- What other symptoms do you have?
- Does it only happen along with other symptoms, such as palpitations?
- Are you pregnant?
- Have you had a fever?
- Have you been very anxious or stressed?
- Do you have high blood pressure or congestive heart failure?
- Do you have kidney failure?
- Do you have heart valve disease?
The following diagnostic tests may be performed:
- Blood studies (CBC or blood count)
- Chest x-ray
- ECG(electrocardiogram)
- Echocardiogram

Why is there bounding peripheral pulse in patent ductus arteriosus?
The output runoff through the PDA from the left ventricle's output to the pulmonary circulation causes a lower diastolic pressure resulting in a lower than normal pressure in diastole. This gives the feeling of a bounding pulse when the heart beats due to the increased difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure and is interpreted as a bounding pulse in the peripheral vessels.

If you have a brachial pulse what would your blood pressure be at least in mmHg?
As a rule of thumb, If you can palpate a brachial pulse the systolic pressure is at least 60 mmhg. Character of the pulse whether bounding or thready will give additional clues to the approximate blood pressure. If you can palpate a radial pulse the BP is at least 80 mmHg.
