凡是脉极这种病证，主要与心脏有关。心主管血脉，脉与心相合。如果心有病变，往往从脉象的变化开始显现。又说：在夏季感受邪气而发病的，称为脉痹。如果脉痹久治不愈，会导致面色改变、脉气异常、肌肉病变以及虚实错杂等症状。如果脉气断绝，则无法治愈，患者将在三天内死亡。怎么知道是这样的呢？因为脉气空虚，就会导致面色枯焦、头发脱落。脉象应指于手少阴心经，如果手少阴心经的气机断绝，那么脉道就不通，血液就会先枯竭而死。

In cases of Mai Ji (Pulse Extremity), the pathology is primarily associated with the Heart. The Heart governs the blood vessels, and the vessels are harmonized with the Heart. If disease originates in the Heart, it often manifests through changes in the pulse. It is also said that contracting pathogenic factors during summer leads to Mai Bi (Pulse Bi Syndrome). If Mai Bi persists untreated, it results in alterations in complexion, abnormal pulse qi, muscle disorders, and patterns of deficiency and excess. If the pulse qi ceases, the condition is incurable, and death will occur within three days. How is this known? Because empty pulse qi leads to a withered complexion and hair loss. The pulse corresponds to the Hand-Shaoyin (Heart Meridian); if the Qi of the Hand-Shaoyin ceases, the vessel pathways become obstructed, and the blood perishes first.
