Description:Excerpt from The Journal of Anatomy and Physiology, Vol. 8 It is a fortunate circumstance for the application of the Sphygmograph, as a means of clinical research, that a knowledge of the cause of the several secondary waves of the pulse is not necessary for their practical interpretation. This may be learnt empirically by watching the association of the different forms of pulse-curve with the known conditions of the patients from whom they are obtained. Thus we find that authors who differ totally from each other as to the causation of any particular form of pulse, and even as to the state of circulation which it implies, yet are quite in agreement as to its clinical import, and the prognosis to be derived from it. But it requires much experience of tracings to be able to draw these inferences, and those who have not this are apt to interpret what they see from theory, and thereby easily fall into error. For instance, it has often been supposed that a high sharp primary summit, followed by a sudden fall, is a sign of aortic regurgitation, but this may occur just as much in the pulse of simple excitement. Hence, from the practical point of view, the study of causes is useful, and it is essential for the arriving at general physiological conclusions, such as the determining what is the true state of the circulation in fever, or in Bright's disease, or what is the effect on the vascular system of various drugs.
