HU Yuanhui's differentiation and treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation based on "deficiency, blood stasis, phlegm, and fire"
Professor HU Yuanhui holds that the pathogenesis of persistent atrial fibrillation is centered on the dynamic evolution of four pathological factors "deficiency, blood stasis, phlegm, and fire". Deficiency constitutes the root, while blood stasis, phlegm, and fire obstruction represent the manifestations, together forming a vicious cycle in which "deficiency leads to excess, and excess further damages healthy
qi
". In clinical practice, Professor HU advocates syndrome differentiation and treatment. For
qi
and
yin
deficiency, the therapeutic approach is to tonify
qi
and nourish
yin
, calm the heart, and relieve palpitations, using the self-formulated
Qipo Shengmai Decoction
with modifications. For heart blood stasis obstruction, the treatment focuses on activating blood circulation, unblocking the vessels, and extinguishing wind to relieve tremors, using the self-formulated
Erchong Tongmai Decoction
with modifications. For phlegm and blood stasis syndrome, the strategy is to resolve p
hlegm, promote blood circulation, unblock the vessels, and relieve palpitations, using the self-formulated
Mengshi Tongmai Decoction
with modifications. For phlegm-fire disturbing internally, the treatment focuses on resolving phlegm, draining fire, calming fright, and tranquilizing the mind, using the self-formulated
Tianmeng Lingjiao Decoction
with modifications, with good use of
Chloriti Lapis
to direct phlegm downward and clear fire. In clinical application, flexible modification is emphasized, addressing both root and manifestation to harmonize
yin
and
yang
, restore the pulse, and relieve palpitations.
