- Reading Music and ECG.

Some people have compared learning to read EKGs with learning to read music.

In both instances, one is faced with a completely new system not rooted in conventional language and full of unfamiliar shapes and symbols.

But there really is no comparison. The simple lub-dub of the heart cannot approach the subtle complexity of a Beethoven string quartet, the multiplying tonalities and rhythms of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, or even the artless salvos of a rock-and-roll band.

-causes of Inequality in the amplitude of the peripheral pulses.

Inequality in the amplitude of the peripheral pulses may result from:
  1. Obstructive arterial diseases, most commonly atherosclerosis
  2. Aortic dissection 
  3. Aortic aneurysm
  4. Takayasu disease
  5. Coarctation of the aorta
  6. Supravalvular aortic stenosis in which the right carotid, brachial, and radial pulses are larger in amplitude and volume than those on the left side because of the preferential streaming of the jet toward the innominate artery.
