“…As excessive diuretics cause electrolyte disorder, which is a risk factor of cardiovascular events [61], decreased diuretic use induced due to acupuncture treatment will prove therapeutic value of acupuncture in HF treatment. Subjective secondary outcomes of our trial include NYHA Functional Classification, the TEAM pattern identification questionnaire [39–43], and QOL questionnaires such as EQ-5D and MLHFQ. Objective secondary outcomes include routine blood tests, cardiac biomarkers, NT-pro BNP, hs-CRP, cardiac function, HRV, and MACE.…”

“…Subjective outcomes include symptom improvements measured by the NYHA Functional Classification [38], symptom improvements evaluated by the TEAM pattern identification questionnaire [39–43] and quality of life measured by the EuroQol Five Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D) [44] and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) [45]. Objective outcomes include routine blood tests (renal function and electrolyte imbalance), cardiac biomarkers, NT-pro BNP, hs-CRP, cardiac function measured by echocardiography, HRV, and MACE.…”

BackgroundThe purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of electroacupuncture in the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure compared with sham electroacupuncture.MethodsThis protocol is for a randomized, sham controlled, patient- and assessor-blinded, parallel group, single center clinical trial that can overcome the limitations of previous trials examining acupuncture and heart failure. Forty-four acute decompensated heart failure patients admitted to the cardiology ward will be randomly assigned into the electroacupuncture treatment group (n = 22) or the sham electroacupuncture control group (n = 22). Participants will receive electroacupuncture treatment for 5 days of their hospital stay. The primary outcome of this study is the difference in total diuretic dose between the two groups during hospitalization. On the day of discharge, follow-up heart rate variability, routine blood tests, cardiac biomarkers, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level, and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) level will be assessed. Four weeks after discharge, hs-CRP, NT-pro BNP, heart failure symptoms, quality of life, and a pattern identification questionnaire will be used for follow-up analysis. Six months after discharge, major cardiac adverse events and cardiac function measured by echocardiography will be assessed. Adverse events will be recorded during every visit.DiscussionThe result of this clinical trial will offer evidence of the effectiveness and safety of electroacupuncture for acute decompensated heart failure.Trial registrationClinical Research Information Service: KCT0002249.

“…All organs have junctions, so if an illness remains lingering, it will settle in the junction of that organ. Since the liver’s junction is with the tendons, the arthralgia continues, and when affected by evil forces, it settles in the liver[ 31 ].” Therefore, the TCM understanding of the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis can be summarized as weakened vital qi, allowing external pathogenic factors such as excessive exposure to the “Six Pathogens” or inappropriate emotional responses from the “Seven Emotions” to invade, resulting in Qi stagnation and blood stasis[ 32 ]. This progression is often slow and persistent, ultimately leading to hepatic fibrosis.…”

Patients with liver cirrhosis are advised to limit their sodium consumption to control excessive fluid accumulation. Salt is the most common form in which sodium is consumed daily. Consequently, various recommendations urge patients to limit salt intake. However, there is a lack of consistency regarding salt restriction across the guidelines. Moreover, there is conflicting evidence regarding the efficacy of salt restriction in the treatment of ascites. Numerous studies have shown that there is no difference in ascites control between patients with restriction of salt intake and those without restriction. Moreover, patients with cirrhosis may have several negative effects from consuming too little salt, although there are no recommendations on the lower limit of salt intake. Sodium is necessary to maintain the extracellular fluid volume; hence, excessive salt restriction can result in volume contraction, which could negatively impact kidney function in a cirrhotic patient. Salt restriction in cirrhotic patients can also compromise nutrient intake, which can have a negative impact on the overall outcome. There is insufficient evidence to recommend restricted salt intake for all patients with cirrhosis, including those with severe hyponatremia. The existing guidelines on salt restriction do not consider the salt sensitivity of patients; their nutritional state, volume status and sodium storage sites; and the risk of hypochloremia. This opinion article aims to critically analyze the existing literature with regard to salt recommendations for patients with liver cirrhosis and identify potential knowledge gaps that call for further research.
