water-hammer --- wide pulse pressure

muller's --- pulsatile movement of uvula

traube's --- "pistol-shot" femoral bruit

duroziez's --- "to and fro" femoral bruit with mild pressure on artery

corrigan's --- large carotid pulsations

quincke's --- pulsatile blanching and reddening of fingernail with light pressure

THAT'S ALL I KNOW

  #5

demussets sign= head nodding with each heart beat
landolfi's = systolic contraction and diastolic dilation of the pupil.
muller's = pulsatile movement of uvula
traube's --- "pistol-shot" femoral bruit
Quincke's =pulsation of the blood in the proximal finger nail bed with pressure applied to the distal nail bed.
hills = greater systolic blood pressure in the legs than in the arms; normal arterial systolic pressure in the leg is 10 to 20 mm of Hg above that in the arm, whereas in aortic insufficiency the difference may be 60 to 100 mm of Hg.
Duroziez's sign /murmur= "to and fro" bruit over the femoral artery resulting from manual pressure applied over the femoral artery while listening with the diaphragm of the stethoscope
corrigan's --- A full hard pulse followed by a sudden collapse easily palpated
