Is TCM only effective for chronic diseases?

Doctor's Answer

Acute Coronary Syndrome is a medical emergency and should be attended promptly by a hospital medical team. However, you may consider TCM treatment once the condition stabilizes, and we can explore the possibility of preventing the deterioration or slowing the progression of ACS.

ACS may be managed under ‘chest pain’ (胸痹) in TCM and a consultation is necessary to assess your body constitution and the primary cause to it.

TCM is also effective in disease prevention especially when one starts to show early signs of certain diseases.
