Verified
An inefficient contraction of the heart that fails to transmit a pulse wave to the peripheral pulse site creates a ____________.
Inefficient Contraction
Inadequate tightening or shortening of muscle fibers, often referring to the heart muscle, which impairs the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.
Peripheral Pulse
The pulse felt at points on the body where arteries are close to the skin, such as the wrist or neck, indicative of the heartbeat and blood circulation efficiency.

Final Answer :
pulse deficit
An inefficient contraction of the heart that fails to transmit a pulse wave to the peripheral pulse site creates a pulse deficit.Pulse deficits frequently are associated with dysrhythmias and warn of potentially decreased cardiac function.
