Syndrome and treatment of palpitations in Records of Chinese Medicine with Reference to Western Medicine
had a wealth of academic experience and a thorough understanding of China and the West. His book
Records of Chinese Medicine with Reference to Western Medicine
elaborated on the differentiation and treatment of heart palpitations and
zhēng chōng
(severe palpitations). He mainly discussed palpitations from eight aspects: stomach heat in Yangming
hyperactivity of liver qi
internal disturbance of phlegm heat
heart-blood stasis
heart-blood deficiency
pectoral qi collapse
kidney-yin deficiency
and yang-deficiency fluid retention. Zhang argued that a weakened heart was the core pathogenesis
and lack of heart qi and blood was the root of the disease. He proposed the priority of treatment should be given to replenishing qi and blood. He held that the the affected area of palpitations was in the heart
but it was closely related to the spleen
stomach
liver
and kidneys. Despite disease locations
disordered qi activities were the basic disease mechanism. The treatment should focuse on qi regulation. Precise treatment and detailed prescriptions listed in the book are still of important guiding significance for clinical practice.
