Abstract
Applying a cold pressor test (CPT) we see consistent change in the waveform of the radial artery pulses whose shapes are classified into three types according to the peaks and valleys. The second peak is raised during the CPT and returns to the original state after finishing immersion. The increase in the second peak is due to the reflected wave.
