Research Progress of Moxibustion Therapy Treating Hyperlipidemia and Atherosclerosis

血脂异常是动脉粥样硬化的病理基础,是导致心血管疾病的重大因素之一,严重危害人类健康。他汀类化学药物的调脂作用疗效确切,但由于存在肝毒性、消化道不适、横纹肌溶解症及神经系统方面症状等不良反应一直备受关注。艾灸疗法作为祖国医学的传统特色外治疗法,具有安全、有效、不良反应小的特点,在治疗高脂血症并动脉粥样硬化中应用逐渐广泛,因此,分析近10年艾灸治疗高脂血症的相关文献,从病因病机、中医辨证分型及生物学机制等方面进行总结,以期揭示艾灸治疗延缓动脉粥样硬化的机制,为艾灸治疗高脂血症并动脉粥样硬化提供参考。
