A

Feeling of cold, spontaneous sweating, cold hands, bright-pale face, slightly dark lips, chest discomfort relieved by heat.

A

Pale, slightly wet

18
Q

What is the pulse for HT-Yang deficiency?

A

Deep-weak, in severe cases Knotted.

19
Q

What are the pathological precursors of HT-Yang deficiency?

A
  1. May develop from HT-Qi deficiency.
  2. May derive indirectly from chronic KD-Yang deficiency
    (KD yang is the source if all Yang energies the body).
  3. May also derive from Yang deficiency of ST and SP
    (The ST and SP also influence the HT directly).
20
Q

What are the pathological developments from HT-Yang deficiency?

A

Heart Blood Stasis

(Deficient HT-Yang fails to move Qi in the chest; this may lead first to HT-Qi stagnation and then to HT-Blood stasis. This pattern is clinically important because it is involved in Western medical diseases such as angina pectoris & coronary heart disease)

21
Q

What are the clinical manifestations of HT-Yang Collapsing?

A

Weak and shallow breathing, cyanosis of the lips, greyish-white complexion, in severe cases coma, palpitations, SOB

22
Q

What is the tongue presentation of HT-Yang Collapsing?

A

Very pale or Bluish-Purple, Short

23
Q

What is the treatment principal for HT-Yang deficiency?

A

Tonify and warm HT-Yang

24
Q

What is the pulse for HT-Yang Collapsing?

A

Hidden-Minute-Knotted

25
Q

What are the pathological precursors of HT-Yang Collapsing?

A

Chronic and severe KD-Yang deficiency OR

Yang deficiency of ST and SP

26
Q

What are the pathological developments from HT-Yang Collapsing?

A

HT-Blood Stasis
(HT-Yang Collapsing is a very severe, serious, acute condition corresponding broadly to cardiac infarction in Western medicine. When it does not cause death, it causes severe Blood Stasis)

27
Q

What is the treatment principal for HT-Yang Collapsing?

A

Rescue Yang, Restore consciousness, stop sweating

28
Q

What are the clinical manifestations of HT-Blood deficiency?

A

Dream disturbed sleep, insomnia, dizziness, poor memory, propensity to be startled, dull-pale complexion, pale lips, palpitations, anxiety

31
Q

What are the pathological precursors of HT-Blood deficiency?

A

LV Blood deficiency

(when blood is deficient, this usually starts with LV-blood deficiency: as the HT governs blood, HT-blood becomes deficient too. Also, LV is the Mother of the HT, a LV pathology is easily transferred to the HT)

32
Q

What are the pathological developments from HT-Blood deficiency?

A

HT-Yin deficiency (as Blood is part of Yin) OR
SP-Blood deficiency (on a physical level, the SP affects the HT - Food-Qi produced by the SP is the origin of Blood. HT is also the Mother of SP)

33
Q

What is the treatment principal for HT-Blood deficiency?

A

Nourish Blood, tonify the HT, calm the Mind
