Abstract:
Viral myocarditis involving the cardiac conduction system is easily associated with a variety of arrhythmias. Negative inotropic effect and the potentially induced arrhythmia of antiarrhythmic drugs limit their application. Non-drug treatment with the body injuries and high medical costs holds patients back and leads them to take a conservative treatment. Traditional medical treatment of this disease has a long history and rich experience. Clinical and experimental studies show that traditional Chinese medicine is effective and has few side effects. This article discusses the ideas of treatments of arrhythmia, from three aspects of differentiating diseases and syndrome type, dispelling wind-evil and dredging collaterals and using results of pharmacological researches reasonably.
