Syndrome differentiation and treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy based on theory of endowment and stasis-toxin
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the etiology and pathogenesis of hypertrophic cardiomyopath
y can be explained from the perspectives of endowment and stasis-toxin. This article divides the disease course into three stages. In the early stage, poor endowment, a tendency toward deficiency and stasis, and latent stasis and toxin form the basis of pathogenesis. In the progressive stage, the key pathological mechanisms include the entanglement of stasis and toxin, obstruction of the collaterals by stasis, and toxin-induced damage to the heart. In the late stage, the combination of stasis and toxin, blockage of blood and
qi
, and exhaustion of
yang
and
yin
result in critical consequences. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach is as follows: in the early stage, identify endowment predispositions and regulate body constitution to achieve prevention; in the progressive stage, focus on activating blood circulation to resolve stasis, reinforcing healthy
qi
, and removing toxin, with modifications based on syndrome differentiation; in the late stage, promote detoxification and dredge obstructions while preserving primordial qi to manage critical and variable conditions.
