Abstract:
Marey's works in cardiology are good examples of the author's position ahead of European physiology for the studies of movement. Since his first published works, and his thesis defended in 1859, until his book Le mouvement, in 1894, Marey never ceased to deal with the cardiovascular system. He is a pioneer in the recording of the pulse, in the mechanical simulation of heart and vessels properties, in the heart catheter, and in the building of artificial hearts and blood circulation systems. Biological physics allowed him to understand physiology and pathology.
