Abstract

|
|
Objective: To examine the effects of Gagam-Samryoungbeakchul-san (加減 蔘?白朮散) on a premature ventricular contraction patient with dizziness and chest discomfort.
Methods: A patient diagnosed with premature ventricular contraction was treated with herbal medicine and acupuncture.
The period of admission was 15 days, and we measured the electrocardiogram before and after treatment. We evaluated the improvement in symptoms by Global Assessment (G/A), and checked the pulse rate by oximetry three times a day. We estimated the efficacy of treatment by analyzing the relationship between the average pulse rate and symptoms.
Results: After Gagam-Samryoungbeakchul-san treatment and acupuncture therapy, the average pulse rate increased from
36.5 to 58. This increase in average pulse rate was accompanied by a reduction in dizziness of 40%, chest discomfort of 30%, and frequency of bigeminy in the electrocardiogram.
Conclusions: This case report confirmed the effectiveness of Gagam-Samryoungbeakchul-san on premature ventricular
contraction, but further study is warranted.
