Chinese Patent medicine to treat a 32-year-old man with sinus bradycardia and cardiac sinus arrests: A case report

Rationale: Sinus bradycardia refers to a sinus heart rate <60 bpm. Cardiac sinus arrests refer to the omission of atrial activation caused by transient cessation of impulse generation at the sinoatrial node. Normally, drugs such as atropine, isoproterenol, dopamine, dobutamine, or epinephrine can be used for the acute treatment of bradycardia. Temporary pacing is used for treating severe symptomatic bradycardia due to a reversible cause. Permanent cardiac pacing is used for chronic therapy of bradycardia. However, for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), benefiting qi and nourishing yin and activating blood circulation is the general principle in treatment and show remarkable curative effects.
