Abstract

Objective To observe the effects of acupuncturing points of pericardium meridian on cardiac output of volunteers with acute mild hypoxia.Methods Under the condition of inhaling low-oxygen gas mixture,cardiac output(CO),stroke volume(SV) and heart rate(HR) were measured with multichannel physiology collection system during electroacupuncture stimulation of Neiguan(PC 6) and Ximen(PC 4).Results The levels of CO and SV were significantly decreased during acupuncture at PC 6,and the level of CO was significantly decreased during acupuncture at PC 4.Conclusion Electroacupuncture stimulation of PC 6 and PC 4 can decrease the levels increase of CO and SV induced by acute mild hypoxia,which implies that there is a certain specific relation between acupuncturing points of pericardium meridian and heart function under hypoxia condiction.
