Abstract

excessive exercise, movement of the humors and their contact with sensitive organs or organs close to the heart and all things producing dispersion. Alternatively, for different situations of life like different periods of age, gender, and sleep special pulses were described [6]. van Tellingen well described pulsology usefulness in modern medicine. Furthermore, some new instruments are designed that can measure different parameters of pulse. Overall, pulsology or sphygmology is highly desirable as a tool with sense and simplicity, as an inexpensive and accessible instrument with a substantial diagnostic yield and it would be a simple method that all physicians can make advantage of it as the first step for diagnosis [7,8]. Ibn Sina was a pioneer in pulsology and sphygmology. He has used pulse sensation as prognostic and diagnostic factor and for diseases differentiation. Although there is a valuable section on pulsology in The Canon of Medicine it seems that for meticulous investigation of Ibn Sina's knowledge in pulsology study of “Resaley-e-Ragshenasi” is crucial. The authors of this manuscript have certified that they comply with the Principles of Ethical Publishing in the International Journal of Cardiology [9]. References
