Studies on Acupuncture Intervention Timing for MIRI
Current researches on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury(MIRI)mainly focus on electro-acupuncture pre-treatment to reduce reperfusion injury,but acute myocardial infarction often has an acute onset and is not clinically predictable,so in addition to pre-treatment,intervention during and after the onset also has the clinical applicability.By reviewing the literature on MIRI treated with acupuncture,different timing of acupuncture are discussed.The timing of intervention was divided into pre-treatment and post-treatment,with pre-treatment corresponding to pre-ischemia,and post-treatment for post-ischemia,which was divided into pre-reperfusion and post-reperfusion correspondingly.The aim is to clarify the effectiveness of different intervention timing in treating MIRI and to provide basis for the selection of acupuncture treatment plan.
