A bruit is a swishing sound that may develop in narrowed arteries.Bruits usually are associated with atherosclerotic disease.This finding may indicate atherosclerotic disease of the carotid arteries,and further evaluation is needed.Bounding pulses,a pulse rate of 90 beats/min,and a blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg are not assessment findings that require immediate interventions.
