This is a 1973 lecture at the Emory University School of Medicine by Robert C. Schlant on examining the arterial pulse, something that is not done in isolation, but simultaneously while listening to the heart for timing and correlation. Uses of this examination include determining the sex of an unborn child, longevity, and blood pressure. In a lengthy slideshow of diagrams and charts, Dr. Schlant presents a review of the historical aspects of the arterial pulse and the physiology of the changes in it, and later shows some examples of abnormalities.
