Abstract:
Acute coronary syndrome(ACS) belongs to “thoracic obstruction” and “heartache” in traditional Chinese medicine.Although many ancient physicians has discussed this disease,while due to the impact of “Yang Wei Yin Xian” in Zhang Zhong-jing's theory,the disease caused little attention by far.In the clinical practice,the author found that most ACS patients belong to heat syndrome.Based on TCM constitution theory,the author put forward the ACS was mainly caused by heat accumulation and blood stasis due to the changes of living environment,lifestyle,and diet,etc.According to traditional Chinese medicine theory,emotional disorder,spicy and hot food can burn body fluid,leading to blood stasis.Long term of blood stasis turns to heat,which further consumes heart blood and aggravates blood stasis.Therefore heat accumulation and blood stasis should be paid attention in the treatment of ACS.
