Unknown Author

4.9/5 (17464 ratings)

Description:This book presents the first English translation of four of Galen's treatises on the pulses: De differentiis pulsibus (On the varieties of the pulses), De dignoscendis pulsibus (On diagnosis of the pulses), De causis pulsuum (On etiology of the pulses), and De praesagitione ex pulsibus (On prognosis of the pulses). The translations are based on the work of Professor Robert Montraville Green, now revised and provided with full annotation, introduction, and a facing-page Greek text. These four treatises constitute a major contribution to the science of cardiology, the first complete such work in the history of medical literature. Galen was in advance of his time, referring, though not by name, to circulatory diseases, familiar to us as arteriosclerosis, embolism, and infarction. In the literary field, the language he is using is distinctive and eloquent. For the history of medicine, these treatises set the foundations for the later broadly used Byzantine medical practice of sphygmology. According to Galen himself, the four treatises on the pulses "pertain equally both to physicians and to philosophers."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
