Discussion on the Scientific Connotation of"Reinforcing Yang from Yin"Method in the Treatment of Chronic Heart Failure Based on Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism / 中国中医药信息杂志

ABSTRACT

Chronic heart failure is the final stage of various cardiovascular diseases,and mitochondrial energy metabolism disorders have been proved to play an important role in the development of chronic heart failure.TCM believes that heart yin is the material basis of heart yang(qi),and deficiency of heart yang(qi)is the core pathogenesis of chronic heart failure.Based on mitochondrial energy metabolism,this article expounded the scientific connotation of"reinforcing yang from yin"in the treatment of chronic heart failure from the aspects of theoretical connotation,pathogenesis,pathophysiological relationship and modern research.In-depth study at the microscopic level demonstrated that the application of"reinforcing yang from yin"method can effectively improve the reconstruction of heart energy substrate(yin),enhance mitochondrial function,and finally provide energy support(yang),which could offer ideas for theoretical research and clinical prevention and treatment of chronic heart failure.
