dicrotic, a. Phys. and Path.|daɪˈkrɒtɪk|
[f. Gr. δίκροτ-ος double-beating (f. δι- twice + κρότ-ος rattling noise, beat) + -ic: in mod.F. dicrote, med. or mod.L. dicrotus.]
Of the pulse (or a sphygmographic tracing of its motion): Exhibiting a double beat or wave for each beat of the heart; applied esp. to a pathological pulse in which the secondary wave which follows the primary is more marked than usual.
(Etymologically ‘dicrotic’ might be applied to any double-beating pulse, whether the secondary wave occurs in the rise or in the fall of the main wave; it is, in use, restricted to the latter case, the former being called anacrotic.)
