Treatment Based on Syndrome Differentiation of Arrhythmia Guided by Yingwei Theory of Vessel-collateral Theory / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ABSTRACT

Meridians include (Qi) channels and blood (vessels). In Duyi Suibi, ZHOU Xue-hai of qing Dynasty named the terminal of Qi channel as"fine collateral of Qi" and the terminal of blood vessel as"fine collateral of blood". Qi channels of the heart cover extensive regulating mechanisms including cardiac pacing and conducting system. Blood vessels of the heart cover circulation system of coronary artery. Cardiac Qi channels and blood vessels are coordinated mutually, and Ying and Wei run together, to jointly maintain normal functions of the heart. Abnormal Yingwei caused by various pathogenic factors leads to occurrence of arrhythmia. Based on the Yingwei theory of vessel-collateral theory, this paper puts forward treatment based on syndrome differentiation of arrhythmia guided by therapeutic principle of"regulating Yingwei in case of heart damage" (Nanjing·14thNan) as well as addresses both symptoms and root causes by prescriptions for regulating Wei, Qi, Ying and blood through sufficiently considering modern pathogenic factors and pathogenic characteristics, in order to provide beneficial reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
