Professor Li Jun's Experience in Identifying and Treating Acute Myocardial Infarc-tion of Four Stages:A Summary
The prevalence and mortality of acute myocardial infarction(AMI)are progressively increasing,posing a significant threat to the health of the Chinese population.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)presents distinctive features in alleviating symptoms,enhancing the quality of life,and improving the prognosis of AMI patients.Professor Li Jun be-lieves that the etiology of AMI includes the invasion of external pathogens,excessive emotional stress,being worn out with age,and irregular diet,indicating a pattern of deficiency in nature and excess in superficiality overall.Specifically,deficien-cy in nature primarily involves a deficiency of qi in the heart and a deficiency of yin and yang,while the excess manifests as phlegm,stasis,heat,stagnation,and retained fluid.Therefore,Professor Li proposes the theory of four-stage syndrome differentiation and treatment,which systematically delineates the pathogenesis,symptoms,treatment principles,and herbal prescriptions for AMI patients in the acute,subacute,chronic,and end stages.
