Course Description
Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United
States, along with its associations such as hypertension, apoplexy,
hemorrhage, and mental distress. While the Western medical paradigm has
been quite adept in critical intervention and palliative care of coronary heart
disease, there are insights that can emerge from Chinese medicine. Coming
primarily from the Chinese medical perspective that heart disease is generally
involved with heat (i.e. inflammation/irritation) and its complications (such as
damp-heat, blood-heat, phlegm-heat, etc.) within our contemporary society,
this course will explore different insights from Chinese medical classics and
traditions in the prevention, management, and treatment of heart disease.
