Abstract

Chronic heart failure is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases in clinical practice, with high morbidity and poor prognosis. However, the cure rate of modern medicine has limitations, so exploring the prevention and treatment of heart failure with traditional Chinese medicine has become a contemporary hotspot. Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has had the treatment concept of "seeking the root of the disease", which has guiding significance for the treatment of heart failure. Many studies have found that the level of BNP is related to the TCM syndrome of heart failure. This article attempts to explore the possible micro-connection between the theory of seeking the basics of treatment and BNP in the treatment of chronic heart failure from the perspective of microscopic syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine. Distinctive advantages in the treatment of chronic heart failure.
