Exploring the Scientific Connotation of Xin-Qi Deficiency Syndrome of Chronic Heart Failure Based on Calcium Handling Abnormalities
Chronic heart failure is classified under"heart failure"in Chinese medicine,with Xin-qi deficiency as its primary syndrome element.Herbs like Astragalus Membranaceus,known for qi tonification,are frequently employed to address chronic heart failure.These herbs prove effective in mitigating common clinical symptoms such as fatigue,palpitations,and shortness of breath associated with Xin-qi deficiency syndrome.Examining the pathophysiology,disruptions in calcium regulation can contribute to abnormal myocardial contraction and relaxation processes,ultimately leading to diminished heart function in chronic heart failure patients.Considering the overlap in manifestations between chronic heart failure and Xin-qi deficiency syndrome,investigating calcium handling abnormalities serves as a potential way to comprehend the essence of the syndrome in this context.
