Essential Treatments In Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine 1

Essential Treatments in Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine includes information on the basic medical sciences of blood lipids, clinical significance, diagnosis, and treatment methods. It also covers TCM differentiations, diagnosis, treatment principles, and methods. In recent years, TCM practitioners have not been specifically trained in treating patients with hyperlipidemia. The book gives a detailed explanation of cholesterol problems and offers Chinese medicine as a solution. This book is intended for US-based licensed TCM practitioners as well as cardiology researchers. Gives a basic medical science and TCM theory background on cholesterol with clinical significance and diagnosis Provides treatment methods and advice, including nutritional therapy and Chinese medicine medicated dietary plan Prepares the practitioner to sit for the Niambi Wellness Integrative anatomy and pathophysiology in cardiology final online exam

Inquiry, Treatment Principles and Plans in Integrative Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine, volume five in the Integrative Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine series, provides the benefits of using the intake form, patient narratives and proper inquiry based on Chinese and Western medicine methods within the clinical setting to establish reliable treatment plans for cardiovascular patients. This reference is organized systematically into three sections covering questionnaires and testimony from patients, inquiry and physical examination techniques that are useful for examining cardiac patients, and specific cardiovascular symptoms in the new and returning patient, including definition of the symptom and clinical significance from Chinese and Western perspectives and treatment principles. This important reference will aid cardiovascular researchers in the study of integrative Chinese and Western medicine with its clear, structured base to guide clinical practice and encourage collaboration between Chinese and Western medicine practitioners. Guides the identification of cardiovascular disease through western medicine and TCM differential diagnosing Provides examination and inquiry techniques using both Western and TCM methods Demonstrates a tailored approach to patient interaction that is specific to cardiology

Herbal, Bio-nutrient and Drug Titration According to Disease Stages in Integrative Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine, the first volume in the Integrative Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine series, provides a comprehensive guide to improving outcomes with cardiovascular medicine therapy options. Coverage includes the three types of medicines used in disease stage treatment, Chinese medicine, nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical drugs. All sections are organized according to drug class in western medicine and chapters in each section are organized according to disease stage, providing ease in navigation and reference within the book. This important reference will aid cardiovascular researchers in the study of integrative Chinese and western medicine as well as provide a clear, structured base to guide clinical practice and encourage collaboration between Chinese and Western medicine practitioners. Integrates Western and Chinese Medicine for a realistic and complete scope of cardiology treatment, establishing the basis for standardization and rationale of inclusion of Traditional Chinese Medicine in cardiology Presents a structure for prescribing herbal formulas and nutritional supplements with or without pharmaceutical drugs Examines diet and lifestyle according to constitution in Traditional Chinese Medicine to prevent the progression of disease and/or maintain health before or after chronic stages

Cardiovascular diseases include ischemic and hemorrhagic diseases involving the heart, brain, whole body tissue, and includes coronary heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis and stroke. This particular group of diseases continue to be a leading cause of death throughout the world with mortality rate remaining high. Currently, drugs administered orally and intravenously and surgical treatments are used to treat such diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to natural herbal medicines and their processed products used for preventing and treating disease under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine’s theory. The implementation of prevention and treatment programs of ischemic cardiovascular diseases with the use of TCM have been associated with positive outcomes; in terms of a reduction in the disability and mortality rate of some patients. Other studies have also shown that specific multi-component TCM preparations have therapeutic benefits based on multi-target and multi-pathway mechanisms, which may have advantages over the current single-component and single-target therapy. Based these characteristics, approved pharmaceutical drugs based in TCM, such as Compound Danshen Dripping Pills, Naoxintong Capsules, Tonxinluo Capsules, and Danhong Injection, are currently used to treat cardiovascular diseases. However, there are a number of areas that still need further investigation. For example, the identification of effective components in herbal medicine is essential in furthering our understanding of what occurs at a pharmacological level; the metabolizing pharmacological pathways of such components; the cellular target of the components; and the lack of standardized guidelines to enhance clinical research.

Physical Examination in Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine details the basics of how to take and record cardiac patient history and triage vitals, then apply the basic western and TCM methods for examining cardiovascular patients in the clinic. It outlines the basic procedure for creating intake questions and then examining the cardiovascular patient using both western and TCM techniques. This book is intended for US-based licensed TCM practitioners as well as cardiology researchers. Provides a guide for creating a basic cardiac intake form, compares TCM and western medicine style symptoms and possible differential diagnoses Provides a guide for basic examination with TCM and western medicine methods, and sound tutorials for heart and lung auscultation Prepares the practitioner to sit for the Niambi Wellness Integrative anatomy and pathophysiology in cardiology final online exam

SARS is a newly identified human infection caused by a corona virus unlike any other known human or animal virus in its family. The analysis of epidemiological information obtained from the sites of the outbreaks of SARS is still underway but the overall case fatality ratio is known to approach 11% although the rate among the elderly is much higher. Currently the major challenges for the treatment of SARS are: the source of the SARS virus and mode of transmission are still not well understood; there are problems with diagnostic tools; there is no effective treatment; and there is no vaccine for SARS. The above-mentioned difficulties and challenges have motivated national authorities health workers and scientists to explore the potential of complementary treatment. The results of research on integrated treatment with TCM and Western medicine showed that it is safe and that it also has some potential clinical benefits. Therefore the experts suggested that records of such experience could serve as reference material for treatment of SARS in the future. This publication is intended to share experience in the complementary treatment of SARS patients; share the experience of clinical studies in the field of traditional medicine for treatment of SARS between the physicians and researchers; and to further encourage and promote the quality of research in the filed of traditional medicine.
