This book examines the history of pulse analysis, a technique tracing its origins to the Alexandrian era and used throughout antiquity for medical prognosis. It traces the evolution of pulse-taking from the intuitive and imprecise methods of antiquity to the development in the nineteenth century of the sphygmograph, a device enabling objective and quantifiable measurements of the pulse. The author explains how the sphygmograph's invention revolutionized the diagnosis of circulatory conditions, providing a permanent record that could be analyzed in detail. This book provides a fascinating and comprehensive account of the history of pulse analysis, and sheds light on a once-central tenet of the art of medicine.
