Key result
Pulseless disease causes chronic aortic arch branch obstruction and diminished upper-body pulsations.
Why the study?
Pulseless disease, a chronic disorder of the great arteries branching from the aortic arch causing diminished or absent arterial pulsation, has been largely ignored in American and British literature until recently.

Case Report (n=1)
This early report highlights 'pulseless disease' (aortic arch syndrome) in the American literature, describing it as a chronic disorder causing diminished or absent pulsation in the arteries of the head and upper extremities.
Janet Kyle (1956) conducted a case report in Pulseless disease (reversed coarctation) (n=1). Pulseless disease is a chronic disorder of the great arteries branching from the aortic arch resulting in diminished caliber or obstruction, causing diminished or absent pulsation in the head and arms.
