If a normal person is tested whether he/she has collapsing pulse, after his/her arm is lifted, should the radial pulsation disappear or become more prominent??

also, does collapsing pulse have anything to do with pulse pressure?

many thanks.

radial pulse becomes more prominent but collapse immediately after its peak and yes collapsing pulse occurs in condition with increased pulse pressure like aortic regurg
