Description
Excerpt from The Study of the Pulse, Arterial, Venous, and Hepatic: And of the Movements of the Heart
Another symptom that early arrested my attention was the pulsation that at times occurred in the jugular veins. These movements were so numerous and so rapid that no safe deductions could be drawn from observation alone. Several observers had obtained tracings of these movements, but they had failed to inter pret them satisfactorily. Having devised a simple method for recording them, with the radial pulse as a standard, the interpreta tion of these movements became easy. The field of enquiry thus opened up is of exceptional interest, as it leads to the demonstra tion of the movements of the different chambers of the heart.
