Heart Health
The conceptualization of heart health varies significantly between Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In Western medicine, heart health is often quantified through the assessment of physiological parameters such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood markers like C-reactive protein and Homocysteine (Ridker et al., 1997, Circulation; Frantz, 2008, Circulation Research). These metrics are used to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular events and guide lifestyle modifications like diet, exercise, and smoking cessation (Mente et al., 2017, The Lancet).
Conversely, TCM adopts a holistic approach, positing that the heart governs blood flow vessels and even houses the Shen, which represents the mind and spirit (Zhang et al., 2013, Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine). According to TCM, a robust heart and adequate blood circulation contribute to a balanced mental and emotional state. Facial appearance, characterized by color, luster, and moisture, is believed to manifest in heart health, as the heart is considered the "Emperor" of all organs (Zhu, 1998, Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine). These contrasting frameworks offer unique insights and treatment modalities for cardiac health but reflect deeply rooted cultural and epistemological differences.
