Radial pulse and electrocardiography modulation by mild thermal stresses applied to feet: An exploratory study with randomized, crossover design

ConclusionsCS induced vasoconstriction and sympathetic reactions, and HS induced vasodilation and parasympathetic reactions. Based on definitions used in pulse diagnosis, we made the novel discoveries that the pulse became slower (decreased P/R ratio), more floating and tenser under CS and that the HF region of the spectral power decreased significantly under both TSs.
