chronous examination of the HRW can be performed,
taking into account functional asymmetry, as it has
been done in the previous case.
Figure 8 shows the results of 2 channel measurements,
according to which it is possible to analyze the
state of the most important parameters of the central
heart rate, such as central aortic systolic ejection
(CASP) and the propagation velocity of the HRW in
the aorta (PVCHR). More details on these methods
can be found in articles [3, 5].
Having outlined the basics of digital diagnosis of
the cardiovascular system, one should ask: is it possible
to use in this work all the knowledge that eastern
medicine has accumulated since the ancient Tibetan
heart rate diagnostic based on tactile sensations for
diagnosing the whole organism. At the same time, it
is necessary to find such a jumper that would make it
possible to connect modern ideas on hemodynamics
with the concept of "meridian", adopted in treatises on
oriental medicine. In many manuscripts of that period
we find mention of a certain KI energy, which is
ahead of the bloodstream, filling the body with life,
and largely determines the state of health. If we make
a cautious assumption that the “KI energy” is an analogue
of heart rate pressure waves, which are an order
of magnitude faster than the rate of blood flow, then
we can draw a certain analogy between them. But this
is not enough to explain the physical nature of the
“meridian”.
We turn to the last articles of the author hereof regarding
the issue of heart rate variability (HRV) and
targeted blood delivery [6, 7, 8]. In these works, it is
shown that HRV gives the blood flow an information
component due to frequency rhythm modulations,
