The importance of Correcting Energy Imbalances in the Prevention and Treatment of Myocardial Infarction

Huang Wei Ling

A myocardial infarction (MI) occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked. According to Western Medicine (WM), the blockage is often a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), MI symptoms suggest a clinical condition of Heart blood stasis. The Blood circulation and flow is commanded by Qi energy, when this energy is deficient, it leads to Blood stagnation or retention of Phlegm, responsible for cholesterol accumulation.
