CHEN Xinnong, GUO Xiaochen, ZHANG Junping. Application of “All Vessels Converging in Lung” Theory in Treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease[J]. Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2018, 59(17): 1465-1469.DOI: 10.13288/j.11-2166/r.2018.17.007.
"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.
