This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Coronary artery disease is the greatest cause of death in middle aged and elderly individuals in North America. Treatment for this disease is far from perfect and is often associated with side effects. In recent years there is increasing interest in alternative medicine and therapy for coronary artery disease including acupuncture. Acupuncture and its more potent alternative, electroacupuncture (EA), are therapies that have been recognized for centuries by physicians in Eastern countries to be effective in treating a number of diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) lists more than 40 conditions for which acupuncture may be effective. With regard to the cardiovascular system, the management of cardiac pain, arrhythmias, and hypertension all fall into the latter category for which some clinical and basic science reports suggest efficiency. However, most Western physicians have been reluctant to accept acupuncture because the physiological mechanisms determining its actions have not been well described.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目及 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 冠状动脉疾病是北美中老年人死亡的最大原因。 这种疾病的治疗远非完美，并且常常伴有副作用。 近年来，人们对包括针灸在内的冠状动脉疾病的替代医学和疗法越来越感兴趣。 针灸及其更有效的替代疗法电针（EA）是几个世纪以来东方国家的医生公认的治疗多种疾病的有效疗法。 世界卫生组织 (WHO) 列出了 40 多种针灸可能有效的病症。 就心血管系统而言，心脏疼痛、心律失常和高血压的治疗都属于后一类，一些临床和基础科学报告表明其有效。 然而，大多数西方医生一直不愿意接受针灸，因为决定其作用的生理机制尚未得到很好的描述。
