Abstract

Objective

This study aimed to analyze the effect of acupuncture in Heart auricular point on cardiovascular function in healthy subjects.

Design

A kinetics cross-sectional experimental study was conducted at Clínica de Acupuntura, Unidad Iztapalapa, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Ciudad de México, México.

Participants

Eight healthy university students (four women) aged 21.12 ± 1.81 (mean ± SD) participated in the present study to investigate the kinetics of the acute effect of acupuncture stimulation at auricular point Heart.

Interventions

The study consisted of one session of manual auricular acupuncture in the Heart point in the right ear. The following data for every heartbeat: Cardiac output (CO), heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) were computed. Manual acupuncture was applied at the auricular point Heart.

Results

This treatment showed an inhibitory effect on CO, HR, SV, and MAP; and stimulatory effect on SVR. Our results showed that acupuncture at the auricular point Heart initially produced a decrease in both HR and SV, therefore in CO; and secondly, a rise of SVR as a compensatory response.

Conclusions

Data suggest the possibility of vagal stimulation immediately after auricular acupuncture in Heart point with a secondary sympathetic response.

耳针心穴诱导心血管功能改变动力学

目的探讨针刺心耳穴对健康人心血管功能的影响。设计动力学横断面实验研究在Clínica de acuuntura, Unidad Iztapalapa, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Ciudad de msamuxico, msamuxico进行。8名健康大学生(4名女性)，年龄21.12±1.81 (mean±SD)，探讨针刺刺激耳穴心脏的急性效应动力学。干预措施:该研究包括在右耳心脏穴进行一次手工耳针治疗。计算每次心跳的以下数据:心输出量(CO)、心率(HR)、每搏量(SV)、平均动脉压(MAP)和全身血管阻力(SVR)。用手针刺耳穴心穴。结果该处理对CO、HR、SV、MAP均有抑制作用;对SVR的刺激作用。我们的研究结果表明，针刺耳穴心脏最初产生HR和SV降低，因此CO降低;其次，SVR的上升是一种补偿性反应。结论耳针心穴后立即刺激迷走神经有继发性交感神经反应的可能性。
