listen ,make a image of abnormal arterial contours - which should inclde - arteriosclerosis , aortic stenosis , aortic regurtitaion & patent ductus arteriosum - which should include changes in systolic and diastolic pressure , graphs of changes of each , why does it happens , dont sugarcoat anything , use diff fonts with diff colours but imp give in highlighted form

Here's your poster. Here's a quick breakdown of what's shown:

ARTERIOSCLEROSIS

Walls are stiff and calcified - they can't stretch and recoil normally
Systolic pressure shoots up (no dampening), diastolic also rises because vessels can't relax properly
Waveform: tall, sharp spike, no dicrotic notch, wide pulse pressure

AORTIC STENOSIS

Valve is narrowed - LV has to fight to push blood through
Stroke volume drops → systolic falls, upstroke is slow and delayed
Waveform: small (parvus) + delayed (tardus) peak - classic "pulsus parvus et tardus," narrow pulse pressure

AORTIC REGURGITATION

Leaky valve lets blood flood back into LV during diastole
Systolic spikes (LV dumps a huge stroke volume) but diastolic collapses (blood runs backward)
Result: widest pulse pressure, bounding "waterhammer" pulse (Corrigan's), diastolic near zero

PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS

Open duct steals aortic blood continuously into pulmonary artery, especially in diastole
Systolic is maintained but diastolic falls markedly ("diastolic runoff")
Result: bounding pulse, wide pulse pressure, the classic machinery murmur, peripheral pulses feel sharp and collapsing

The bottom comparison table lets you read all four conditions side-by-side at a glance.
