Both these terms, "Corrigan's pulse" and "varicoarse veins" (varicose veins) are associated with bad blood circulation. Corrigan's pulse (named after Sir Dominic John Corrigan) is a jerky carotid pulse having a full expansion that appears to collapse and be completely empty between beats. Varicose veins are large, swollen veins, usually found in the leg.
