Biomedical engineering basis of traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine is an ancient medical science that can be traced back for three to four thousand years of written history. Using the transient response characteristic method, we studied the frequency property of some simulated organs. We tried to explain the concept that the energy in the blood pressure wave is distributed to different organs in the body according to the frequency. This will elucidate the ancient teaching of Chinese medicine in terms of current engineering terminology.
