“肺朝百脉”理论在缺血性心脏病治疗中的应用

Application of “All Vessels Converging in Lung” Theory in Treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease

"肺朝百脉"理论是对肺与血、脉相互作用的高度概括,其中包含"肺助心行血""肺主治节"等多重内涵。现代医学研究发现,肺与心血管关系密切,临床多种肺疾病可以诱发缺血性心脏病。动脉粥样硬化是缺血性心脏病的主要病理基础,肺组织损伤可以通过系统炎症、氧化应激、血管功能障碍等与动脉粥样硬化紧密连接,提示肺损伤可以诱导中医血、脉功能异常,即"肺伤"容易导致"心伤",从侧面佐证了中医"肺朝百脉"理论的科学内涵,对丰富和完善中医藏象理论及指导缺血性心脏病防治具有重要意义。

＂All vessels converging in lung＂theory is the summery of the interaction between lung and blood,lung and vessels,including the connotations of ＂the lung assisting the heart to move the blood＂and ＂the lung governs management and regulation＂. Modern medicine research found that lung has closely correlation with angiocarpy. Clinical practice indicates that many kinds of lung diseases can cause ischemic heart disease（IHD）. Atherosclerosis（AS） is the primary pathological basis of IHD,which can be connected with the injury of lung tissues through systematic inflammation,oxidative stress,dysfunction of vessels,etc.,indicating the injury of lung can cause the dysfunction of blood and vessels in Chinese medicine. That means the ＂injury of lung＂can easily lead to the ＂injury of heart＂,and it proves the scientific connotation of ＂all vessels converging in lung＂theory in traditional Chinese medicine,and is significant in developing the theory of visceral manifestation in traditional Chinese medicine and directing the prevention of IHD.
