Key result
Review highlights the need for proper Ayurvedic pulse examination instruments and compares two existing devices.
Why the study?
With growing attention to the link between pulse wave velocity and heart disease, proper nadi pareeksha is increasingly important, prompting the need for a suitable examination instrument.
The review highlights the importance of proper instrumentation for Nadi Pareeksha (Ayurvedic pulse examination) and its potential correlation with pulse wave velocity in heart disease.
Proper nadi instruments remain unvalidated; leaves open reliable correlation with pulse wave velocity in heart disease.
Acharya’s who are considered as apta have explained well about importance of nadi pareeksha in diagnosis of disease in classical books of Ayurveda. Yoga ratnakara, Sarangadara samhitha, Bsavarajeeyam, Bava prakasha have mentioned about nadi pareeksha in Ayurveda.

Nadi pareeksha can be correlated to the pulse examination and now days the concept of relation between pulse wave velocity and heart disease has gained much attention and being analyzed so proper nadi pareeksha becomes more important. In this background the present article discusses the need of a proper instrument for examining nadi and comparison of existing two such instruments.
