apex beat (is) not lifting
Explanation:
The whole example sentence: "The character of the apex beat can be described using words such as "thrusting" ( a forceful, small area apex beat seen in conditions which place a pressure load on the heart ) or "lifting" ( a diffuse large area that lifts the hand up - seen in conditions that put a volume load on the heart) or tapping ( a palpable S1 in mitral stenosis.)"

neutral  Jiri Lonsky: I don't think "palpable" corresponds to "zvedavý". "Lifting" is a particular deviation from the typical apex beat

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you. I've found more information on this now: a 'forcible apex beat' and a 'heaving apical impulse' are both said to 'lift' the palpating finger.
