ABSTRACT
Using Doppler ultrasound, a study was done on the characteristics of the radial pulse at the wrist in pregnant and non-pregnant women in order to test the hypothesis that the traditional Chinese medicine 'smooth pulse' of pregnancy has a physiological basis. Comparison of pulse characteristics in a small series of subjects strongly supports this hypothesis.
