“独取寸口”现代认识

现代研究发现,寸口脉是一个多维信息的交汇点。位置上远离心脏,因而能在反映心脏功能状态的同时,也能够反映外周循环的状态;组织结构上属于中动脉,是神经体液调节的靶位密集区;在波的物理特性上,是正向波与反射波的交汇点;适中的口径又使血液流动性变化得以精确表达。因此说是"独取寸口"成就了中医脉诊,似不为过。

Modern understanding of "taking the pulse at Cunkou alone"

The modern research find that the pulse at Cunkou is a multi-dimensional information convergence point.Cunkou is far away the heart,which can not only reflect the condition of heart function,but also can reflect the condition of the circumference circulation.In the organizational structure,Cunkou belongs to the middling artery,is the neurohumoral regulation target position compact district.In the wave physical property,Cunkou is the forward wave and the reflected wave convergence point.The moderate caliber enables the blood fluidity change to express precisely.So,"taking the pulse at Cunkou alone" is the base of the method of diagnosis by feeling the pulse.
