Radial Radial Delay Test for CV Screening

This is a very easy to do cardiovascular screening test⠀
⠀
This is called the radial radial delay ⠀
⠀
To assess for radio-radial delay:⠀
⠀
Palpate both radial pulses simultaneously.⠀
⠀
In healthy individuals, the pulses should occur at the same time.⠀
⠀
If the radial pulses are out of sync, this would be described as radio-radial delay.⠀
⠀
Palpation of the radial and the femoral pulse should yield nearly simultaneous pulses. ⠀
⠀
If there is a palpable delay from the radial to the femoral pulse, it suggests coarctation of the aorta or at least an aortic obstruction below the takeoff of the left subclavian artery.⠀
