Pulse
[edit]Could someone with a better knowledge on medicine than I take a look at this article? "The most likely cause of a suprasternal pulse in an adult is an aortic arch aneurysm." If I'm not mistaken, a suprasternal pulse (of some strength) is not uncommon in healthy thin adults. Saying this in a Wikipedia article is a great way of stirring up health anxiety in people.

Supra
[edit]Why isn't it supersternal notch? It comes at the top of the sternum, not below it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:449:4582:CB00:28B3:F83B:BFD4:C5D5 (talk) 03:11, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Attack pressure point
[edit]Not sure if this is useful information for this article, but the suprasternal notch is a well-known attack point (pressure point) used in several self-defensive martial arts. It's one of the more exposed and accessible weak points of the body. — Loadmaster (talk) 16:42, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
