Treatment of fatigue related to heart failure from "liver as the root of tolerance to fatigue"
This study explores the key link of fatigue in heart failure (HF) from the perspective of the "liver as the root of tolerance to fatigue". It holds that the key lies in the abnormal physiological characteristics of the liver as the "root of tolerance to fatigue", and proposes the general treatment principle for HF-related fatigue as "tonifying the liver's body, harmonizing the
qi
of the five
zang
organs, and soothing liver
qi
stagnation". Commonly used drugs include
Astragali Radix
,
Dioscoreae Rhizoma
, and
Glycyrrhizae Radix
et Rhizoma
, which correspond to their nature of promoting growth;
Paeoniae Radix Alba
and
Ziziphi Spinosae Semen
to nourish liver blood and consolidate heart
yin
, thereby nourishing the soul and calming the mind;
Xiaoyao Powder
to strengthen the spleen, nourish the blood, and soften the liver;
Liuwei Dihuang Pills
to tonify liver and kidney; or
Yiguanjian
to consolidate kidney essence and harmonize the five
zang
organs. In the late stage of HF, drugs such as
Citri Sarcodactylis Fructus
,
Bupleuri Radix
,
Citri Fructus
, and
Hordei Fructus Germinatus
are often added to soothe liver
qi
stagnation. By regulating the fundamental physiological functions of the liver as the root of tolerance to fatigue, this approach aims to improve fatigue related to HF.
