基于“虚、痰、瘀、毒”理论探讨颈动脉粥样硬化

Discussion on Carotid Atherosclerosis Based on the Theory of Deficiency,Phlegm,Blood Stasis and Poison

中医认为颈动脉粥样硬化的发病大多是由于人体气血阴阳的本虚不足,以气虚为主,随后出现痰浊、瘀血、热毒等病理产物,邪气入侵,充斥脉络,胶着于颈部脉管,随之结聚成块,聚结不消,久病入络,脉络瘀阻,成为积聚,最终形成脉络癥积,发为本病;另一方面,脉络癥积形成后,失于濡养,使人体气血阴阳愈发虚弱,进一步加重脉络受损,加速其发病,由此进入恶性循环。

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the onset of carotid atherosclerosis is mostly due to the deficiency of Qi and blood,mainly Qi deficiency,followed by pathological products such as phlegm,blood stasis,heat toxin,etc.,and pathogenic factors invade and adhere to the cervical vessels,which then coalesce into blocks,and the disease will persist.After a long illness,the veins will be blocked,which will accumulate and eventually form vein syndrome.On the other hand,after the formation of choroid disease,the choroid loses its nourishment,which makes the human body's Qi,blood,Yin and Yang weaker,further aggravates the damage of choroid and accelerates its onset,thus entering a vicious circle.
