This text contains the most complete, most up-to-date information currently available in English on the subject of cardiovascular disease. Written with non-Western practitioners in mind, it contains not only summaries of Western terminology, prognosis, preventive care, treatments, and side effects for 28 cardiovascular conditions, but as well thorough discussions of acumoxa therapy, pattern discrimination and treatment plans, Chinese herbal medicine case histories, and up-to-date research showing how Chinese medicine is being used in tandem with all types of Western medical treatments to treat cardiovascular conditions. Extensive commentary by the authors (Becker, Flaws, Casanas).
