CHINESE Medical Theory (CMT) has different considerations from conventional medicine when looking at the health of the heart. Whilst Western medicine stresses exclusively on the physical integrity and functions of the heart muscles, conductive tissues, nerves, valves and blood vessels, CMT looks more at the influence of qi on this vital organ.
Furthermore, the stomach and spleen are regarded as important organs affecting the heart because these two organs extract qi and distribute it to the heart and lungs through their meridians which are connected to the heart.
