Unreferenced date October 2006 Pulsus bigeminus is a cardiovascular phenomenon characterized by groups of two Cardiac cycle heartbeats close together followed by a longer pause. The second pulse is weaker than the first. It is caused by premature contractions see Premature atrial contraction or Premature ventricular contraction ventricular , usually of the Ventricle heart ventricles , after every other beat, so called extrasystoles. It can be a sign of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy or of many other types of heart disease. It can also be an innocent and passing phenomenon. Digitalis toxicity can cause this type of phenomenon.

Cardiovascular Research. Vol. 42. P. 583 590. PMID 10533597 ref It is almost always indicative of heart failure left ventricular systolic impairment , and carries a poor prognosis. Pathophysiology In left ventricular dysfunction, the ejection fraction will decrease significantly, causing reduction in stroke volume , hence causing an increase in end diastolic volume . There may initially be a tachycardia as a compensatory mechanism to try to keep the cardiac output constant. As a result, during the next cycle of Systole medicine systolic phase , the myocardium myocardial muscle will be stretched more than usual and as a result cause an increase in myocardial contraction, related to the Frank Starling physiology of the heart. This results, in turn, in a stronger systolic pulse . In literature D.H. Lawrence , in his famous novel, Sons and Lovers elegantly describes pulsus alternans Then he felt her pulse. There was a strong stroke and a weak one, like a sound and its echo. That was supposed to betoken the end.
