ABSTRACT

Coronary heart disease is one of the common clinical diseases, with its incidence and mortality increasing year by year. Coronary heart disease falls under the category of "chest distress and angina." in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In recent years, a large number of case studies on the treatment of coronary heart disease with TCM have been published. Chief Physician Ren Xiaofang, based on the "Xianghuo-Qiji" theory of the renowned TCM master Yang Zhen, and combining her own clinical experience of over two decades, believes that the pathogenesis of chest stuffiness and pain mainly involves deficiency of Zhongqi, kidney cold and spleen dampness, leading to the sinking of the clear and the rising of the turbid, and qi mechanism obstruction. In treatment, she advocates regulating the qi mechanism and restoring its ascending and descending movements as the principle for syndrome differentiation and treatment, which has achieved good therapeutic effects in clinical practice.
