Abstract
Geriatric heart disease is a common disease in modern society. Due to the characteristics of advanced age and multiple underlying diseases, elderly patients with heart disease have a variety of types and treatment methods compared to other diseases. We searched the databases of CNKI, PubMed, and Web of Science to search for the causes and treatment methods of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for heart diseases using the terms "geriatric heart disease", "treatment", "ischemic heart disease", "pulmonary heart disease", "hypertensive heart disease", "rheumatic heart disease", "thyroid heart disease", "coronary heart disease", "arrhythmia", and "heart conduction block". The search also included the terms "reasonable emotional therapy", "Baduanjin", "TaiChi", "Wuqinxi", "Qigong", "acupuncture and moxibustion", "moxibustion", "guasha" and so on, auxiliary Chinese medicine therapies for geriatric heart disease. The results showed that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a relatively comprehensive treatment plan for different types of geriatric heart disease. Generally, TCM combined with Western medicine or surgery can effectively improve heart function and treat the disease. Chinese exercise and TCM therapy also play an indispensable role in the auxiliary treatment of geriatric heart disease, effectively improving the living conditions of the elderly.
老年性心脏病是现代社会的常见病。老年心脏病患者由于高龄、基础疾病多的特点,与其他疾病相比,其类型和治疗方法也多种多样。我们检索了中国知网、PubMed和Web of Science数据库,检索了“老年性心脏病”、“治疗”、“缺血性心脏病”、“肺心病”、“高血压性心脏病”、“风湿性心脏病”、“甲状腺性心脏病”、“冠心病”、“心律失常”、“心传导阻滞”等中西医治疗心脏病的原因和治疗方法。此外,“合理情绪疗法”、“八段金”、“太极”、“五琴戏”、“气功”、“针灸”、“艾灸”、“瓜沙”等辅助治疗老年心脏病的中医疗法也在搜索范围内。结果表明,中医对不同类型的老年性心脏病有较全面的治疗方案。一般来说,中西医结合或手术可以有效地改善心脏功能,治疗疾病。中医运动和中医疗法在老年心脏病的辅助治疗中也发挥着不可或缺的作用,有效地改善了老年人的生活状况。
