Brief Summary:
Although some important progresses were made in the field of the meridian research, no breakthroughs have been achieved. Besides,there are some problems in meridian researches. Particularly, previous research of meridian phenomena involved lots of subjective elements and outcomes.Researches that use modern scientific techniques to investigate the biological characteristics of meridian phenomenon are urgently needed. Therefore, this study is designed to assess the heat transport characteristics of the Heart and Lung meridians by infrared thermal imaging (ITI). Thus, the biological characteristics of meridian phenomena could be presented objectively in a scientific methodology
Detailed Description:
This study will include 40 patients with chronic stable angina pectoris (CSAP), and 80 healthy adults. Infrared thermal imaging (ITI) examination will be adopted to assess the heat transport characteristics of the Heart and Lung meridians and investigate the specificity for the meridian-visceral correlation and site-to-site correlation between two specific meridians.
