Abstract:
Coronary heart disease(CHD)is a common cardiovascular disease in clinic,which can be classified as"chest qi-obstruction"and"heart pain"in traditional Chinese medicine.Professor LI Yan believes that CHD can be differentiated as the syndrome of deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality,and the deficiency in origin is characterized by the deficiency of spleen and the failure of spleen and stomach in transportation,while the excess in superficiality manifests as the obstruction of visible pathogens such as phlegm turbidity,blood stasis,qi stagnation,and cold accumulation.The clinical treatment should focus on regulating the spleen and stomach,using Astragali Radix,Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma,Codonopsis Radix,Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus to strengthen the spleen and nourish the heart in order to treat the root cause.Moreover,therapies of activating yang to remove turbidity,activating blood to remove stasis,soothing liver to rectify qi,and warming yang to dissipate the cold can be adopted.Therefore,the symptom and root cause will be treated simultaneously,the unblocking and supplementing effect will be achieved,and then the spleen-qi is vigorous,the heart qi is in abundance,the blood stasis and the phlegm are removed,and the chest yang can be stretched.As a result,the heart vessels are unblocked,and the symptoms of chest qi-obstruction will be relieved.Professor LI Yan's experience from the perspective of spleen and stomach can provide reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CHD with traditional Chinese medicine.
