Roof Leaking Pulse
Updated 2026-08-01
INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
Roof leaking pulse is one of the classical strange pulses in Chinese medicine. The beat is extremely slow, arriving only after long intervals, and each beat feels weak and unresisting, like the last drops of rain falling through a leaking roof. It reflects exhaustion of stomach qi and depletion of the nutritive and defensive fluids, so the heart loses the sense of being filled by liquid and beats only under the pull of gravity. It is a critical sign with a poor prognosis.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Fluid loss check: read the weak drip as evidence that the fluid base sustaining the beat is gone - Gravity test: distinguish a beat driven only by residual pull from one still filled by vitality - Rescue trigger: escalate to emergency support once the beat becomes this slow and this weak
Anchor fast decisions
A normal beat carries a sense of fullness because blood and fluids fill the vessels and give the contraction something to move. When stomach qi and the nutritive and defensive fluids are exhausted, that fullness disappears, and what remains is a slow, gravity-like drip at long intervals. The causal chain runs from depletion of the fluid base to loss of filling pressure to a beat that can no longer sustain a rhythm. The weaker the drip, the closer the system is to stopping.
