Duroziez's sign
Other names: Alvarenga-Duroziez sign
Femoral artery
Differential diagnosisAortic insufficiency

Duroziez's sign is a sign of aortic insufficiency.[1][2] It consists of an audible diastolic murmur which can be heard over the femoral artery when it is compressed with the bell of a stethoscope.[3]

It is named for French physician Paul Louis Duroziez who published its description in 1861,[4][5] even though it was first described by Portuguese physician Pedro Francisco da Costa Alvarenga in 1855;[6] for this reason it is alternatively known as the Alvarenga-Duroziez sign.
