论气血失衡是心脑血管病的基本病机

Discussion on imbalance of qi and blood as basic pathogenesis of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases

心脑必须依赖气血的充盈、流畅和平衡才能发挥正常的生理功能,所以心脑血管病的基本病机是气血失衡。任何致病因子侵犯心脑,势必影响气血失和,其演变规律为初期以气滞血瘀居多,进而出现痰瘀互结,最终呈现多虚多瘀的病机。调气活血法能调畅气血,平衡阴阳,是治疗心脑血管病的基本治法。

The physical functions of the heart and brain is based on the sufficiency,fluency and balance of qi and blood. Therefore,the basic pathogenesis of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases should be imbalance of qi and blood. Any causative agent is bound to influence the harmony of qi and blood once it attacks the heart and brain,its evolving laws are qi stagnancy and blood stasis at early stage,subsequent cementation of phlegm and blood stasis,and more qi deficiency and more blood stasis in the end. Regulating qi and activating blood circulation may harmonize qi and blood,balance yin and yang,which should be served as the basic therapeutic method for treating cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.
