ABSTRACT

Objectives:
Oriental medical doctors usually use the three-finger pulse diagnosis method to observe disease. Since it is difficult to diagnose ischemic heart disease(IHD) objectively by this diagnostic method, we performed the study to diagnose it as soon as possible by using Yuk Bu Jung Wee Jin Mac(六部定位診脈) and electrocardiogram(ECG).

Methods :
Patients who had abdominal discomfort were observed by Yuk Bu Jung Wee Jin Mac(六部定位診脈) and we presumed they had heart disease and checked them with electrocardiogram(ECG).

Results:
We diagnosed it early by using Yuk Bu Jung Wee Jin Mac(六部定位診脈) and electrocardiogram (ECG).

Conclusions:
The study suggests that it is easy to diagnose IHD early using Yuk Bu Jung Wee Jin Mac(六部定位診脈) and ECG. More data related to IHD is needed.

Key words: Ischemic Heart Disease(IHD), electrocardiogram(ECG), Yuk Bu Jung Wee Jin Mac(六部定位診脈)
