Abstract:
Coronary heart disease(CHD)is a chronic and dynamic disease resulting from atherosclerotic plaque accumulation and disordered circulatory function.For aging and senescence have an effect through the course of the disease,periodic and time-related manifestations of CHD are presented,characterized by the"stable-unstable-stable"process.Modern medicine has made breakthroughs in lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory agents,and scaffold material technologies for CHD,but it still has certain residual risk.Inspired by the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),this paper proposed the treatment of CHD from the view of"blood-vessels-heart-spirit"integration,and holds that kidney-deficiency induced aging has an effect on the progression of CHD through the course of disease.Aging results into blood stasis,and then the blood,vessels,heart and spirit are all affected.The prevention and treatment of CHD should be performed by multi-dimensional,whole-process intervention with therapies for promoting the qi transformation of heart-vessels,and recovering the function of spirit governing the whole body.Nourishing kidney to treat the root cause aims at vessel stagnation due to blood turbidity,atherosclerosis caused by vessel stagnation,heart failure due to atherosclerosis,and spirit disturbance due to heart failure.Nourishing kidney to generate essence is helpful for purifying blood and moistening vessels,nourishing kidney to unblock the vessels is beneficial for dissipating mass and smoothing vessels,and nourishing kidney to promote transformation dis helpful for nourishing heart and tranquilizing spirit.By nourishing kidney,the regenerative,self-purifying and self-adaptive function of the heart-vessels will be promoted,thus to achieve the healthy homeostasis of"pathogenic factors being impossible to invade the body if healthy qi being sufficient inside".Therapy of nourishing kidney can be used in various pathological stages for preventing,controlling and curing CHD.
