As the weather gradually gets colder, people's blood vessels will shrink and metabolism will increase, which will become a period of high incidence of coronary heart disease. This disease mainly affects the elderly, mainly because their cardiopulmonary function is weak, the blood output of the heart will gradually decrease, and the blood flow of the coronary arteries will decrease. When encountering cold stimulation, the coronary arteries will spasm, which also leads to the frequent occurrence of coronary heart disease. So what are the Chinese herbal medicines for treating coronary heart disease?
Among them, Chinese patent medicines can be roughly divided into several categories based on their functions and indications: aromatic and warming, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, strengthening the body and nourishing the heart, etc.; based on the type of preparations, they can be divided into compound preparations and single-flavored traditional Chinese medicine extraction preparations. Among the traditional Chinese medicines for the treatment of coronary heart disease, the aromatic and warming medicines include Guanxin Suhe Pills (capsules), Shexiang Baoxin Pills, Xinbao, Su Bing Dropping Pills, etc.; for the treatment of coronary heart disease, the Chinese medicines for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis include Compound Salvia Tablets, Xinkeshu Tablets, Diao Xinxuekang, Buchang Naoxintong, Tongxinluo Capsules, Shanhaidan Capsules, and Jinzeguan. Xin Capsules, Chuanxiong Granules, Songling Xuemaikang Capsules, etc.; Compound Danshen Dropping Pills and Suxiao Jiuxin Pills have the dual effects of warming and activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis; Fuzheng Yangxin category includes Shengmaiyin Oral Liquid, Buxinqi Oral Liquid, Yixinyin Oral Liquid, Yangxinshi, Zhigancao Mixture, Pingfeng Shengmai Capsules, Wenxin Granules, etc. Most of the above are Chinese patent medicine preparations. When patients experience an angina pectoris attack, they often use Chinese patent medicines that are fragrant and warm, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. However, the properties of these medicines vary, and they are easy to transform dryness and yin, and damage people's righteousness. Therefore, the dosage should generally be reduced or stopped after the patient's symptoms are relieved, which is what Chinese medicine calls "the disease stops immediately."
