This review highlights the potential of electroacupuncture to enhance therapeutic outcomes in coronary heart disease while identifying current bottlenecks in its clinical application.
Electroacupuncture (EA) therapy combines electrical stimulation with traditional acupuncture therapy and is widely used as a physical therapy in various fields. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a prevalent cardiovascular condition. Applying EA in the treatment of CHD patients has proven to effectively enhance therapeutic outcomes and improve prognosis. This paper summarizes the potential mechanisms of EA in the treatment of CHD, its therapeutic effects on CHD patients, and analyzes the current bottlenecks in the application of EA therapy for CHD.
