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.
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.
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.
허혈성 심장질환
The heart pumps ceaselessly throughout a lifetime, and it too requires immense amounts of oxygen and nutrients. The vessels supplying these are the "coronary arteries."
Ischemic heart disease occurs when the oxygen supply falls short of what the heart muscle demands.
The most common cause is Atherosclerosis, where cholesterol and inflammatory cells build up on vessel walls to form plaque.
When vessels narrow, the heart beats faster during exercise or stress, leading to a crushing chest pain known as Angina Pectoris.
If plaque ruptures and a blood clot completely blocks the vessel, it leads to a fatal condition called Myocardial Infarction. This is not just pain; it is a scream from heart cells that cannot breathe.
BM Korean Internal Medicine Clinic asks, "Why did the vessel become blocked?"
It is not merely due to aging. From the perspective of Korean Medicine, ischemic heart disease is a complex result of stagnant heart energy (Qi Stagnation), thickened and clotted blood (Blood Stasis), and accumulated waste (Phlegm-Turbidity).
We see not only the narrowed vessels visible on scans but also your turbid blood and collapsed metabolic balance that ruined those vessels.
This is the essence of heart disease as viewed by Internal Medicine by Korean Medicine Physicians.
