Quale scientificità nella medicina tradizionale? - Il Bo Live - Unipd
Il dibattito sulle pratiche tradizionali, come l'utilizzo terapeutico di discipline mente-corpo o come l'agopuntura, che ormai fanno parte ...
ambito cardiovascolare
Perciò si possono combinare le tecniche, ma come spiega Zampieri: “ Sia la medicina cinese che quella indiana hanno delle basi teoriche diverse da quella occidentale. Ad esempio, l'agopuntura si basa sull'idea dell'esistenza di canali energetici all'interno del nostro corpo che non siamo ancora in grado di “misurare” con le tecnologie attuali, ma la sua efficacia terapeutica, invece, è comprovata e per questo pienamente accettata dall'Oms. Anche in <anchor>ambito cardiovascolare</anchor>, l’efficacia dell’agopuntura è ampiamente documentata. D’altra parte, ancora oggi non sappiamo bene come funzionino esattamente anche alcuni dei nostri farmaci (si pensi agli antidepressivi, si veda un recente studio pubblicato su Lancet32802-7/fulltext)) ciò, però, non significa che non vengano adottati. Un chiaro esempio ci viene anche dalla storia: la vaccinazione contro il vaiolo, che è stata la prima forma di vaccinazione introdotta in Europa, prevedeva l'uso del pus del vaiolo delle vacche, che si era dimostrato efficace nell'immunizzare l'uomo contro il vaiolo umano. La scoperta avvenne empiricamente, la pratica venne adottata in tutta Europa e un secolo e mezzo dopo portò all'eradicazione totale del vaiolo. Ma la conoscenza dei meccanismi immunologici è venuta dopo l'esperienza pratica. In questo senso ci possiamo accostare con una mentalità aperta alle medicine tradizionali non occidentali, che non sono necessariamente in opposizione alla nostra”.

## About this book

This book is a detailed guide to a new integrative approach to the prevention and treatment of various cardiac disorders and risk factors, including coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. This approach combines various strategies, including metabolic cardiology, low-dose medicine, exercise programs, stress management programs, evaluation for inherited risk factors, and various other healing modalities. Metabolic cardiology focuses on the prevention, management, and treatment of cardiovascular disease at the cellular level through biochemical interventions with nutritional supplements that can promote energy production in the heart. Low-dose medicine, on the other hand, interprets pathological phenomena as an imbalance in intercellular signaling that may be corrected through the administration of low physiological doses of messenger molecules. Therapies outside of mainstream medicine may also be deployed in integrative cardiology,for example acupuncture, herbal medicine, and homeopathy. Integrative Cardiology will be of interest to all practitioners wishing to learn about an approach that incorporates the incredible advances in medication and technology with a focus on nutrition, lifestyle, and mind–body influences.

## Reviews

“The book is designed to provide additional tools for physicians to use in their therapeutic intervention strategies in often complex pathological situations in cardiovascular disease. … The book is well written, easy to read, and uses numerous color graphs, figures, and tables to supplement the text. This tool for practicing clinicians provides a complete source of information about the use of complementary therapies in treating the whole patient with cardiovascular disease.” (Joseph A. Randy Englert III, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2017)
