Published: October 2024

Luobing theory is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and focuses on the regulation of blood circulation. The translation of Luobing theory into clinical practice has shown promising results in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Studies have reported the benefits of using Luobing theory in the treatment of metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, arrhythmia, and heart failure. This review article provides an overview of the evidence-based application of TCM Luobing theory in the treatment of CVDs. It also highlights the challenges and opportunities of translating TCM into clinical practice and provides valuable insights for future CVD research.

Value of Myocardial Strain in Monitoring Fluorouracil-Based Chemotherapy-Related Cardiac Dysfunction in Gastrointestinal Cancer Patients.

Chin Med Sci J

November 2024

State Key Laboratory for Innovation and Transformation of Luobing Theory; Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Remodeling and Function Research, Chinese Ministry of Education, Chinese National Health Commission and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences; Department of Cardiology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan 250012, China.

Objectives: To investigate the predictive value of myocardial strain for cardiotoxicity associated with fluorouracil-based chemotherapies in gastrointestinal cancer patients.

Methods: Patients with diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancers, who were hospitalized for chemotherapy involving antimetabolic drugs, were eligible in this prospective study. Echocardiography was performed before and after each chemotherapy cycle during hospitalization until the completion of chemotherapy.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a high-burden clinical syndrome characterized by intravascular and extravascular congestion, impacting patients' outcomes. Current diagnostic methods for assessing intravascular congestion, including right heart catheterization (RHC), have some limitations. There is a need for accurate, stable, and widely applicable non-invasive measurement methods to improve HF diagnosis and treatment.

Background: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a challenging diagnosis, particularly when the classic signs, such as increased wall thickness in a non-dilated left ventricle (LV), are absent. This makes the diagnosis more difficult in patients with normal LV wall thickness. We present a case of CA without increased wall thickness and without the characteristic granular sparkling echotexture in a non-dilated LV.
