Chapter 1108 (1/2)
Congenital heart disease is the most common type of congenital malformations, accounting for about 28% of all kinds of congenital malformations. It refers to the abnormal anatomical structure caused by the formation disorder of heart and large blood vessels or abnormal development during embryonic development, or the failure to close the channels that should be closed automatically after birth.
The spectrum of congenital heart disease is particularly wide, including hundreds of specific types. Some patients can be combined with a variety of malformations at the same time, and the symptoms vary widely. The lightest can be asymptomatic for life, and the heaviest can have serious symptoms at birth, such as hypoxia, shock and even premature death.
According to the hemodynamic and pathophysiological changes, congenital heart disease can be divided into cyanotic or non cyanotic type, and can also be divided into three categories according to whether there is shunt: no shunt, such as pulmonary artery stenosis and aortic coarctation. Left to right shunt, such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus.
And right to left shunt, such as tetralogy of Fallot and transposition of great vessels.
A small number of congenital heart diseases have the opportunity of self-healing before the age of 5. In addition, a small number of patients have slight deformity and have no significant impact on circulatory function without any treatment, but most patients need surgical treatment to correct the deformity.
For example, when Lin Wanqing was a child, she had an ordinary family and had no money for treatment and surgery, which led to her congenital heart disease missing the best opportunity for surgical treatment of Western medicine.
Now it's more difficult to have surgery, even if you have money.
According to the view of traditional Chinese medicine on heart disease, all heart diseases are Yang deficiency. If Yang Qi is insufficient, Yin blood does not grow. Physiologically, Yang Qi is the foundation of metaplasia; In pathology, Yang Qi is more easily damaged than Yin essence; In treatment, Yang is easy to burst, while Yin is difficult to grow quickly.
Therefore, the method of Invigorating Yang must be used to treat heart disease.
Chen Shifeng of the Qing Dynasty said, ”if people have real heartache, the law is not to save them. However, if they use drugs properly, it is not impossible to live.”
The power of the heart comes from the kidney. The lack of Kidney Yang is like the lack of power from the generator, which will reduce the speed of the water pump and make the water pressure insufficient, that is, the heart beat is weak, intermittent, the blood pumping force is insufficient, and the blood cannot reach the blood vessel terminals.
The peripheral nerve will remind the central nerve, and the central nerve will stimulate the heart to accelerate the beat, so there will be premature beat, insufficient kidney qi and weak heartbeat.
If the blood flow rate is slow, it is easy to produce blood stasis. Over time, blood stasis will deposit on the blood vessel wall to block blood vessels, resulting in coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction.
Western medicine only knows how to dredge blood vessels and stimulate the heart by physical and chemical means, but it does not know that the root cause lies in the lack of kidney yang.
If the kidney yang is sufficient, it will naturally restore various functions of the human body, the heartbeat will be natural and powerful, the blood stasis will dissolve naturally, and the symptoms will disappear naturally.
The disadvantage of Western medicine in treating heart disease is that it is reasonable in physics to implant stents in cardiovascular system, but it is extremely unreasonable in physiology.
Because the stent made of metal belongs to the hardest congestion and belongs to the foreign body of the human body.
The human body has rejection. Congestion is a soft foreign body in the human body. There will be a tingling feeling in the congestion part, which is the performance of vitality breaking stasis.
