Abstract
This was what Mahomed wrote, in 1872. He was a man of genius of the end of the 19th century, and he is considered to be the pioneer of pulse wave analysis [10]. After the first enthusiasm regarding pulse wave analysis, it fell into disuse, mainly for two reasons: first, the young Mahomed died before his time; second, Riva-Rocci introduced his sphygmomanometer. Since then, the possibility of assessing and analyzing pulse wave globally has become obsolete, owing to the use of two values: systolic and diastolic blood pressure values.
