Abstract

Objective: To explore the relationship between Heart Meridian (HM) and cardiac function.Methods: Forty-eight rabbits with acute myocardial ischemia resulting from intravenous pituitrin injection was established. Electroacupuncture (EA) on the HM and the Lung Meridian, 3 points for each, was applied and their change of arterial pressure was observed.Results: Distinct difference existed in the improvement of arterial pressure on the HM and Lung Meridian with EA. The regulatory action of EA in HM on the cardiac function was significantly better than that of EA in Lung Meridian.Conclusion: HM was closely related to the cardiac function.
