Life as a daughter of interventional cardiologist mom means knowing she won’t be there for day-to-day activities. Our priorities and expectations were well explained and often repeated at home, which made us feel as if it was a norm.

First described in 1872 by Ludwig Traube, Traube’s pulse, also known as pulsus bigeminus or pulsus alternans, is a rhythmic alternating strong and weak pulse. Traube’s pulse indicates severe cardiac failure and is a marker of poor prognosis;...
