Modern blood vessels have no time to rest.
Blood becomes sticky due to westernized diets (Hyperlipidemia), vessels constrict due to stress (Hypertension), and the motive force of circulation is lost due to lack of exercise.
As a result, inflammation occurs on the inner vessel walls, plaque accumulates, and Atherosclerosis begins.
Narrowed vessels suffocate the heart, causing Angina and Myocardial Infarction, block leg vessels leading to Claudication and Gangrene, and cause the aorta to lose elasticity, ballooning into an aneurysm that threatens life if it ruptures.
BM Korean Internal Medicine Clinic asks, "Why did the blood vessel become sick?"
The narrowed vessel seen in imaging is just the result; the root cause lies where it is unseen.
From the perspective of Korean Medicine, vascular disease is a combined result of Blockage of Vessels by Stasis (Maengnak-eojo / 脈絡瘀阻), Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis (Giche-hyeoleo / 氣滯血瘀), and Internal Accumulation of Phlegm-Turbidity (Damtak-naeon / 痰濁內蘊).
We look beyond the diameter of the narrowed vessel to see the turbidity of the blood flowing through it and the energy of the internal organs governing circulation.
Blood pressure is more than a number; it’s a survival signal from your body. Instead of forced reduction, we help your vessels regain elasticity and restore natural balance.
By combining modern diagnostic tools with holistic insights, we visualize unseen circulatory issues through data-driven medicine.
Atrioventricular Block (Bradyarrhythmias)
For electrical signals to pass from the heart's upper chamber (atrium) to the lower chamber (ventricle), they must pass through a gateway called the AV Node.
This acts as a 'station' that briefly delays the signal so the ventricle can fill sufficiently with blood.
However, if this gateway narrows or blocks due to aging, ischemia (lack of blood), or inflammation, signal transmission problems arise.
BM Korean Internal Medicine Clinic asks, "Why was the electrical signal blocked?"
While conventional medicine views fibrosis or sclerosis of the conduction system as irreversible aging, from the perspective of Korean Medicine, this is the result of Stasis of Heart Vessel (Sim-maek-eo-jo / 心脈瘀阻) and Internal Accumulation of Phlegm-Turbidity (Dam-tak-nae-on / 痰濁內蘊).
Before simply connecting the severed signal with a machine, we perform treatment that clears waste blocking the conduction system and opens the path of circulation.
국소 심방 빈맥 (Focal Atrial Tachycardia / 局所心房頻拍)
The heart must beat regularly according to the signals of the conductor, the SA node.
However, if a specific area within the atrium (pulmonary vein, coronary sinus, etc.) creates rapid electrical signals on its own without listening to the conductor, Focal Atrial Tachycardia (Focal AT) occurs.
It is like a student suddenly causing a disturbance in a classroom.
This 'rebellion' starts without warning (Paroxysmal), beating fast and then stopping suddenly, or persists stubbornly (Incessant), exhausting the heart (Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy).
Symptoms range from palpitations to dizziness and fainting, and if left untreated, it can worsen into heart failure or atrial fibrillation.
BM Korean Internal Medicine Clinic asks, "Why did a specific part of the atrium become over-excited?"
While conventional medicine views the cause of abnormal electrical signals as a local cellular abnormality, from the perspective of Korean Medicine, it is a state of Flaring of Heart Fire (Sim-hwa-hang-seong / 心火亢盛) and Yin Deficiency causing Internal Heat (Eum-heo-nae-yeol / 陰虛內熱).
We go beyond blocking electrical signals to cool the overheated heart and replenish depleted fluids, providing treatment that helps the heart find stability on its own.
Bradyarrhythmias (SA Node)
Our heart has a natural conductor, the Sinoatrial Node (SA Node), which creates 60–100 electrical signals per minute.
However, as we age, if Fibrosis progresses around the SA node or blood supply is not smooth, the conductor gradually becomes exhausted.
This leads to Sinus Bradycardia, Sinus Arrest, or Tachy-Brady Syndrome, where the pulse alternates between fast and slow.
Patients experience shortness of breath even with exercise because the heart rate does not increase (Chronotropic Incompetence), and may feel dizzy or faint due to reduced blood flow to the brain.
This is not just aging; it is a crisis signal that the heart's vitality is fading.
BM Korean Internal Medicine Clinic asks, "Why is the SA node trying to stop?"
While conventional medicine views this as simple aging or degenerative change, from the perspective of Korean Medicine, these are typical symptoms of Heart Yang Deficiency (Sim-yang-heo / 心陽虛) and Heart Qi Deficiency (Sim-gi-heo / 心氣虛).
Before applying mechanical electrical stimulation, we prioritize treatment to revive the extinguished spark of the heart so it can beat on its own again.
