Abstract:
Under the guidance of five-viscus correlation theory,and with reference to the clinical practice,this paper discusses the pathogenesis of cardiogenic asthma,i.e.long illness of the heart resulting in asthma,from the perspective of physiological characteristics of heart,which belongs to yin in essence and yang in function.And this paper also introduces the correlation between five zang-organs and cardiogenic asthma:asthma induced by heart failure involves the lung,has close relation with middle energizer(spleen and stomach),results from the comorbidity of heart and liver,and contributes to the disorders of kidney.It is believed that cardiogenic asthma injures the heart,results in internal blockage of blood stasis,so the original pathogenesis of cardiogenic asthma is due to the heart;unsmoothed blood circulation causes fluid retention in the chest and lung,and then the lung is involved.The failure of spleen and stomach in generation and transportation will cause the unsmoothed circulation of qi and blood,liver qi stagnation will result in the failure of liver blood in nourishment,and the intense kidney yin-fire will stir upward and attack heart yang.The factors mentioned above all are prone to result in the aggravation of cardiogenic asthma.Therefore,the treatment of cardiogenic asthma with traditional Chinese medicine should be focused on heart,and methods of replenishing qi,activating blood circulation,and inducing diuresis are used as the primary therapeutic approaches.Moreover,according to the organs involved in cardiogenic asthma,therapies of regulating the five viscera and restoring the balance of yin and yang are used for precise treatment,and the therapeutic effect will be enhanced.
