Abstract:
Myocardial fibrosis is characterized by pathological remodeling of extracellular matrix,which is a common pathological change during the development of various cardiovascular diseases.Qi transformation dysfunction in the zang-fu organs,subtle substance accumulation,and endogenous turbid evil production lead to the occurrence of diseases.The theory of turbid blood is widely used to elucidate the pathological changes of diseases and guide the prevention and treatment.Turbid blood,as a special pathogenic factor and pathological product,plays a crucial role in the oxidative stress process of myocardial fibrosis.Qi deficiency of the heart and spleen,stagnation of turbid blood,impaired blood circulation in the heart,and the inability to maintain the oxidative-reductive system balance of myocardial cells are the root causes of disease onset.Accumulation of turbid blood,intermingled phlegm and blood stasis,blockage of heart vessels,and accumulation of metabolic waste products contribute to disease progression.Prolonged turbidity accumulation leads to cardiac enlargement,scattered mental state,and pathological remodeling of the extracellular matrix,indicating a severe disease stage.Early treatment focuses on strengthening the vital qi and spleen,reducing turbidity and recovering clarity.In the middle stage,the key is to resolve phlegm,eliminate stasis,and promote clarity while removing turbidity.In the late stage,detoxification,turbidity elimination,and restoring clarity are emphasized.By adhering to the characteristics of the pathological mechanism and using traditional Chinese medicine intervention,it is possible to suppress oxidative stress,prevent pathological remodeling of the extracellular matrix,and improve myocardial fibrosis.
