Abstract

Geriatric heart disease is a common disease in modern society. Due to the characteristics of advanced age and multiple underlying diseases, elderly patients with heart disease have a variety of types and treatment methods compared to other diseases. We searched the databases of CNKI, PubMed, and Web of Science to search for the causes and treatment methods of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for heart diseases using the terms "geriatric heart disease", "treatment", "ischemic heart disease", "pulmonary heart disease", "hypertensive heart disease", "rheumatic heart disease", "thyroid heart disease", "coronary heart disease", "arrhythmia", and "heart conduction block". The search also included the terms "reasonable emotional therapy", "Baduanjin", "TaiChi", "Wuqinxi", "Qigong", "acupuncture and moxibustion", "moxibustion", "guasha" and so on, auxiliary Chinese medicine therapies for geriatric heart disease. The results showed that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a relatively comprehensive treatment plan for different types of geriatric heart disease. Generally, TCM combined with Western medicine or surgery can effectively improve heart function and treat the disease. Chinese exercise and TCM therapy also play an indispensable role in the auxiliary treatment of geriatric heart disease, effectively improving the living conditions of the elderly.
