Exploring the syndromes characteristics and clinical significance of cardiovascular disease in Traditional Chinese Medicine based on immune inflammation
Immune inflammation is the basic pathological mechanism of kinds of cardiovascular diseases (CVD),which is essential due to the body's inflammatory immune-related cells by the role of internal and external stimuli showing an abnormal systemic response,including immune disorders and excessive inflammatory. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine ( TCM ),the underlying pathology of CVD belongs to deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality. The deficiency in origin often dominated by qi and yang deficiency,and the excess in superficiality includes qi impediment,blood stasis,phlegm-dampness,heat-toxicity and so on. The immune function is often closely related to the healthy qi. Immune dysfunction and the weakness of healthy qi,inability to resist the invasion of pathogen factors,it leads to qi deficiency and qi impediment,then transforming into yang deficiency and fire. Immune disorders further exacerbate the inflammatory response. Fire and heat evil gradually flourish,accumulate into toxic,toxic damage to the heart and vessels,causing local tissue degeneration and necrosis,similar to metamorphic in-flammation. Qi and yang deficiency leads to the formation of dampness,phlegm and retained fluid,these water can exude the vessel and become turbid after a long period of accumulation,similar to exudative in-flammation. The healthy qi deficiencies leads to blood stasis after a long time,then blood stasis and phlegm intermingle,the yin constituting form,the myocardial fibrosis is accelerated,similar to proliferative inflam-mation. Based on this,treatments in TCM such as benefiting and correcting qi,disperse the liver and rectify qi,clearing heat and removing toxins,transform phlegm and remove dampness and activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis can effectively regulate the inflammatory immune response of CVD and reduce the inflammatory damage. This paper concentrates on exploring the intrinsic connection between immune inflammation and CVD syndromes in Chinese medicine,which provides new therapeutic ideas for clinical treatment of CVD.
