Sometimes it is called a dancing brachial artery as well.<\/p>\n<p>Though taken as a peripheral sign of aortic regurgitation, it is not uncommon to see a prominently pulsating tortuous brachial artery in the elderly with arteriosclerosis. In this case it is a stiffened blood vessel wall which makes the pulsation visible and more prominent. Added to this there will be isolated systolic hypertension with a wide pulse pressure which is similar that in aortic regurgitation (AR). But the diastolic pressure will not be very low unlike in AR. If you palpate the vessel wall the vessel wall thickening can be easily appreciated (<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Osler&#8217;s sign<\/span>). In order to appreciate the vessel wall thickening well, it may be better to obliterate the arterial pulsation by inflating a blood pressure cuff (sphygmomanometer cuff) above the systolic pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Locomotor brachialis has been reported in a person with severe hypertension (225\/170 mm Hg), who was aged only 50 years.
