Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Jason - There is an old English term for 'rapid rate of arrival' it is called 'celerity.' Within the wave, rate can be observed from three perspectives, crest to crest, trough to peak and trough to trough. Crest to crest gives beats per minute. The wave occurs perceptibly from trough to peak, and when rapid, some people call this urgent or pounding. When the pulse passes quickly from trough to trough, it is a slippery pulse. In the Golden Cabinet passage on lung abscess, the pulse is described as faster in the right cun position. It is only through celerity that this can occur.
