Numerical Analysis of One-dimensional Mathematical Model of Blood Flow to Reproduce Fundamental Pulse Wave Measurement for Scientific Verification of Pulse Diagnosis

Pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine is said to be able to detect not only illness but also decline of health in the patients from tactile sense of the pulse in the radial artery at the wrists. This diagnosis, however, is not supported by concrete scientific evidence. The authors have pro...
