    The aim of this work is to study the meaning of the term sfugmov" in the Corpus Hyppocraticum. In this paper, which concerns the first part of the investigation, three Hippocratic treatises including the terms sfugmov" and palmov" have been analyzed. The author concludes that both words are related to irregular heart beats (palpitations), characteristic of a patient. However, it should be noted that in the passages analyzed no mention is made of normal heart beats, typical of a healthy person.
