The arterial pulse was a major aspect of all three major medical
traditions - Western, Chinese and Indian. Galen's extant works are
the only significant account of Western views surviving from
ancient times. Not only does he set out his own views in great
detail but he also gives a large amount of information on the views
of others whose writings are lost. In the translated treatises in
the present work, Galen deals with basic anatomy and physiology,
classification of the types of pulses, diagnosis of and from the
pulses, causal factors of clinical relevance and the very important
matter of the prognostic value of the pulses. This is the first
translation into a modern Western language of Galen's very
substantial body of work on this subject.
