| Abstract
|
| Heart failure due to dilated heart disease is a clinical difficult disease，and its etiology remains unclear. Western medicine has no specific treatment method for it. Western medicine mainly focuses on controlling the heart failure and arrhythmia，to avoid sudden death and embolism，but there is a high mortality rate. Traditional Chinese medicine’s unique understanding and treatment of heart failure caused by dilated heart disease provides a new direction for clinical treatment. Professor WANG Qingguo believes that its core pathogenesis is edema due to yang deficiency. The yang deficiency of heart comes first，the weakness of the spleen and kidney does not control the coldness，and the abnormal of phlegm，blood stasis，and water dampness is committed，forming heart disease and heart failure. As for this，Professor WANG Qingguo pays attention to the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine，the disease and syndrome differentiation，and adopts the water-core theory to guide the treatment method. Replenish qi and clear yang first，and warm the spleen and kidney to control coldness，and harmonize qi and blood yin and yang. In addition，Professor WANG Qingguo prefers to add Forsythia suspense to the prescription in clinical practice，which can correct the deviation and prevent the fever，which is regarded as the highlight in the prescription. From the perspective of clinical effect，traditional Chinese medicine can not only improve the function of preventing the heart disease and heart failure，but also ameliorate the structure of heart. |
