Cervical heart disease, or cervical coronary artery disease, is a type of disease that resembles coronary artery disease caused by cervical spondylosis. At present, there is very little research on this disease at home and abroad, and the clinical symptoms of cervical spondylosis, such as distension, pain and arrhythmia in the precordial region, are common, and it is easy to misdiagnose, and the treatment effect is not ideal. After long-term clinical observation, the author proposes the research idea and mechanism of “cervical heart point” for the treatment of cervical heart disease, taking into account the local anatomy, nerve distribution and meridian connection of the cervical spine. 1. Overview and diagnosis of cervical heart disease Cervical spondylosis is a common disease. An analysis of 800 cases of cervical spine patients, the average age of onset was 38.6 years old, the highest age group was 31-40 years old, accounting for 41.7%; followed by 41-50 years old, accounting for 35.7%. Phillips (1927) first suggested that cervical nerve compression could cause angina-like pain in the anterior thoracic region; Nachlas (1934) reported three cases of “pseudo-angina”; Hanflig (1936) believed that cervical spine Kapoor and Tiwary (1966) demonstrated that cervical spondylosis could indeed cause angina-like anterior chest pain through a series of electrocardiographic examinations, exercise tests, blood counts, blood enzyme measurements, and trials of vasodilators, excluding coronary artery disease. These familiarities have provided some basis for modern research into cervical heart disease. For cervical heart disease, the general diagnostic criteria are: having clinical manifestations of cervical spondylosis and meeting the diagnostic criteria of cervical spondylosis by cervical spine X-ray or CT examination; accompanied by cardiovascular symptoms such as palpitation, chest tightness, precordial pain and arrhythmia; cardiovascular symptoms such as chest tightness, precordial pain and arrhythmia are relieved or disappear when the cervical pinch point is pressed; the accompanying cardiovascular symptoms are aggravated or alleviated with the rotation of the neck posture; and should be specifically Cardiovascular drug treatment, whose cardiovascular symptoms do not change or have no effect; normal electrocardiogram examination or with S-T changes, sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia. The diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of the first of these criteria and any of the remaining ones. Anyone who meets the above diagnostic criteria can be treated with the cervical heart point proposed in this article. The cervical heart point is the general name for the cervical heart 1, cervical heart 2, and cervical heart 3 points. Cervical heart 1 The second cervical vertebrae spine in the depression next to one inch. Cervical Heart 2 One inch from the depression under the spinous process of the sixth cervical vertebra. Cervical Heart 3 One inch from the depression under the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra. 3. The nerve mechanism of the cervical heart points and cervical heart disease is mainly sympathetic nerves that pass through the neck and are related to the heart. The sympathetic ganglia in the neck are located on the deep side of the prevertebral fascia, and there are three of them, namely the superior cervical ganglion, the middle cervical ganglion, and the inferior cervical ganglion. They are connected to each other by interganglionic branches. The superior cervical ganglion is located at the height of the transverse processes of the second, third, or fourth cervical vertebrae. The postganglionic nerve fibers (gray traffic branches) that emanate from the superior cervical ganglion enter mainly the upper three cervical nerves, and the postganglionic nerve that emanates from them is mainly the supracardiac nerve, which is associated with the heart. This nerve descends medially in the sympathetic trunk, enters the thoracic cavity on the right side via the anterior or posterior aspect of the subclavian artery, and joins the deep cardiac plexus along the cephalic trunk (innominate artery) down to the posterior aspect of the aortic arch. The left side enters the thoracic cavity, descends along the anterior aspect of the left common carotid artery, and joins the superficial plexus via the aortic arch and the anterior aspect of the vagus nerve. The middle cervical ganglion is located at the height of the sixth cervical vertebra, and the postganglionic nerve fibers emanating from this ganglion mainly enter the fourth and fifth cervical nerves. The postganglionic nerves emanating from this node are mainly cardiac-related nerves, which descend on the right side posterior to the right common carotid artery to the posterior aspect of the deep cardiac plexus. The left cardiac nerve, which enters the thoracic cavity between the left common carotid artery and the subclavian artery, is attached to the left side of the deep cardiac plexus. The inferior cervical ganglion is located between the transverse process of the seventh cervical vertebra and the neck of the first rib. The nerves that emanate from behind this node are mainly the subcardiac nerves. Several postganglionic nerve fibers of the cervical sympathetic nerve may merge into cardiac branches, some of which may coincide with branches of the vagus nerve to the heart and aortic arch, innervating the heart. Because the heart is innervated by the entire sympathetic nerve in the upper, middle and lower cervical region, cardiac symptoms are often present in cervical spondylosis. The distribution of the cervical sympathetic nerves related to the heart is the main mechanism for determining the cervical heart point. The cervical heart points 1, 2, and 3 are located in the upper cervical ganglion, middle cervical ganglion, and lower cervical ganglion, respectively. From the neurological point of view, the essence is to regulate the sympathetic nerves of the heart, which are affected by cervical spine diseases, by acupuncture of the three nerves in the neck, and to relieve the symptoms of heart diseases similar to coronary heart disease. 4. The meridian mechanism of the cervical heart point The cervical heart point is located next to the spine, between the Directing Vessel and the Bladder meridian, and is close to the spine point, suggesting a close connection between the cervical heart point and the Directing Vessel and the Bladder meridian. It is the sea of the Yang Vessel and is connected to the Foot Sun Vessel, which is the main channel of Yang. The Ling Shu? The back of the Yu cloud: “The Yu of the five organs are all based on the Sun and should be in the Governor”. This means that the Governor and the bladder meridian points have an extremely important role in regulating the function of the internal organs. Acupuncture at the Neck Heart point between the Directing Vessel and the Bladder meridian connects the two meridians with one needle, which has the effect of opening the Directing Vessel, managing the Dorsal Yu, harmonizing Qi and Blood, and regulating Yin and Yang. The pressure pain at the cervical heart point is due to cervical spondylosis on the one hand, and can also be a reaction point for heart disease on the other. The “Back of the Yu” points out: “press the place, should be in the middle and pain relief”. This is the same as the reaction point of the dorsal points of the internal organs, which are reflected by the meridians, and the cervical points of the heart, which can also have similar reaction points. The patient is placed in a prone or prone sitting position, with the collar muscle relaxed, and the acupuncture point is found. If a reaction point appears, the effect is better. With a 1.5-inch milli-needle direct acupuncture, or 65-70 degree angle, the tip of the needle slightly to the spine, when the needle under the electric shock-like or swelling and numbness, stop the needle, according to the severity of the disease and the nature of the disease, the appropriate acupuncture techniques, mostly twisting acupuncture method, so that the gas quickly, gas to the disease, to relieve symptoms. The depth of its needling is generally 1 to 1.2 inches, depending on the person, that is, the thick collar muscle, appropriate deep pricking; on the contrary, it is given shallow pricking. Each acupuncture 10 minutes, 3 to 5 times for a course of treatment.
