Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of moxibustion on the blood lipid and hemorheology in senile patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) due to heart blood stagnation who underwent interventional treatment.Method A hundred senile CHD patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 50 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by conventional medications, while the treatment group was additionally by thunder-fire moxibustion. The blood lipid and hemorheology were observed before the treatment and after 3 treatment courses.Result The blood lipid parameters (including CHO, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C) were changed significantly in the treatment group after the intervention (P<0.05). The CHO, TG, and LDL-C levels of the treatment group were significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05). The hemorheology parameters (whole blood viscosities at a high-, middle-, and low-shear rate, and fibrinogen) were significantly changed in the treatment group after the intervention (P<0.05). The whole blood viscosities at a high-, middle-, and low-shear of the treatment group were markedly different from that of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Thunder-fire moxibustion can down-regulate the blood lipid and blood viscosity of CHD patients undergone interventional treatment, and thus improve myocardial ischemia.
