Experience of Professor GUO Zhihua in Treating Heart Failure Edema Based on the Theory of"Inhibited Blood Leading to Water Disease"
Professor GUO Zhihua integrates the theory of"Inhibited Blood Leading to Water Disease"with the physiological and pathological characteristics of the heart,lungs,and spleen in the clinical treatment of heart failure complicated by refractory edema,emphasizing the principles of seeking treatment from the root cause and holistic differentiation of the Five Zang-Organs.Professor GUO believes that the core pathogenesis of heart failure edema lies in deficiency of visceral qi,disharmony of qi and blood,and binding of blood and water.Treatment should focus on supplementing qi,promoting blood circulation,and eliminating water,while strengthening organs as the foundation.He advocates reinforcing the healthy qi,nurturing the heart and warming yang,supplementing the lungs and fortifying the spleen,replenishing qi and nourishing blood to consolidate the foundation,and promoting blood circulation,removing stasis,and draining water to dispel pathogenic factors.
