About this ebook

Inquiry, Treatment Principles and Plans in Integrative Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine, volume five in the Integrative Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine series, provides the benefits of using the intake form, patient narratives and proper inquiry based on Chinese and Western medicine methods within the clinical setting to establish reliable treatment plans for cardiovascular patients. This reference is organized systematically into three sections covering questionnaires and testimony from patients, inquiry and physical examination techniques that are useful for examining cardiac patients, and specific cardiovascular symptoms in the new and returning patient, including definition of the symptom and clinical significance from Chinese and Western perspectives and treatment principles.

This important reference will aid cardiovascular researchers in the study of integrative Chinese and Western medicine with its clear, structured base to guide clinical practice and encourage collaboration between Chinese and Western medicine practitioners.

    In Memory

    This textbook is dedicated in memory of my late parents. To Mary A Cummings (1954–2006) who passed away of heart failure and other related diseases, I am continuing to keep my promise of finding out what was wrong with you and what could have been done to prevent some of them. To my father Abdur-Rahman Qurban Al-Shura (1949–80), I followed what you advised me to do in life, and taught me to always find a way to make it happen.

    Dedication

    The writing of this textbook is dedicated to my son, Khaleel Shakeer Ryland, and his son, my grandson Khaleem Qurban Ryland. Your ancestors motivated me to find important solutions that may help some people in this world be relieved of suffering. May this legacy inspire and guide you to do the same in this life and to pass our ways on to future descendants.

    Preface

    The Development, Promotion, and Ongoing Research of Integrative Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine

    Integrative Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine (ICCM) is an area of medical study, research, and education with basic medical sciences, theories, and practices. It was created by Dr. Anika Niambi Al-Shura in 2014 as part of her doctorate degree. Cardiology in Chinese Medicine first became an interest during her early years of study in Chinese hospitals in China in 2004–06. At the time Dr. Al-Shura got a great opportunity to travel to China to work and study. It had dawned on her that before her father died in 1980, he predicted that she would study sciences and travel east to do something important. Dr. Al-Shura decided that she could search for ways to improve on her skills and master's degree in Oriental Medicine education to help her mother, Mary, suffering from advancing cardiovascular diseases. Before important revelations in medicine and health care became understood in her mission, Mary passed away in her early 50s in 2006.

    Dr. Al-Shura continued her study and went on to hospital research in China between 2006 and 2014. She was recycling what her father had predicted directly to her word for word, realizing it may have been bigger than finding ways to only help her mother. Realizing that her father's prediction seemed to be coming true, she used this period to learn and think about how she could have been able to care for Mary and possibly relieved or cured certain cardiovascular disorders had she survived. It became apparent that Mary's ignored genetic predispositions, lifestyle, and
