First German Edition! Sir James Mackenzie's "classic work on the pulse marked the end of the ars sphygmica of ancient sphygmology." Bedford (1st. Ed. 1894) "Mackenzie was born in Scotland and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. He entered general practice in Burnley, Lancashire and remained there for more than twenty-five years before moving to London in late 1907 in order to obtain greater opportunities for his clinical research. Mackenzie became interested in cardiac arrhythmias early in his career and developed the well-known Mackenzie Ink Polygraph to assist him with his studies. This work was the first scientific treatise on irregularities of the pulse and established Mackenzie's reputation as one of the leading heart specialists of the day. He describes and depicts his clinical polygraph, fully explores the nature of the pulse and concentrates on the clinical significance of the pulse in diagnosing irregularities of the heart.
