- Abstract: [Purpose] This study is a case report of an acupuncturist's new evaluation index for acupuncture treatment aimed at reducing or eliminating cardiac rehabilitation inhibitory factors in home medical care due to exacerbation of heart failure. [Method] Acupuncture was evaluated by heart rate variability, respiratory sinus arrhythmia, and saturation pulse O2. [Results] In severe heart failure in the evaluation index used in this study, there was no significant change in the autonomic function of the heart before and after acupuncture stimulation.[Discussion] In order for acupuncture to be accepted as a member of team medical care in the future, acupuncturists need to share objective information for multi-professional collaboration.
