Aortic stenosis is not a disease classification in TCM, but according to theclinical symptoms of aortic stenosis, it shares the same attributes as the TCMdisease classified as “heart impediment ”（心痹）, “chest impediment ”（胸痹）or “palpitations”（心悸）. Based on TCM theory, the cause of disease is relatedto congenital deficiency, invasion of exogenous pathogens and feeble body due toold age. These factors led to the weakness of qi, blood, yin and yang, which in turncaused phlegm blockage and blood stasis, resulted in the lack of nutrients for heartsupport, loss of flowing rhythm of the heart and pulse, and thus, the emergence ofthe clinical symptoms.A 64-year-old woman, presented with the intermittent chest tightness, chestpain and breathing difficulties was admitted into the hospital in 2009. The patientwas diagnosed with severe aortic valve stenosis and surgery was recommendedby the cardiologist. However, patient refused surgery treatment and she seek forTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) outpatient clinic.The TCM treatment planfor this case was to nourish the qi and blood which promoted the blood circulationto achieve the balance of yin and yang.
