Abstract EN
Background: Palpitation is a sign of a disease and is very common in general population.
For this purpose we decided to explain it in this study.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the palpitation in both modern and traditional medicine aspect.
It may help us to diagnose and cure better because the traditional medicine view is holistic and different from modern medicine.
Materials and Methods: We addressed some descriptions to the articles of traditional medicine subjects which have published recently.
Palpitation in modern medicine was extracted from medical books such as Braunwald, Harrison and Guyton physiology and some related articles obtained from authentic journals in PubMed and Ovid and Google scholar between1990 to 2013.
Results: According to modern medicine, there are many causes for palpitation and in some cases it is cured symptomatically.
In traditional medicine view, palpitation has been explained completely and many causes have been described.
Its aspect is holistic and it cures causatively.
The traditional medicine scientists evaluated the body based on Humors and temperament.
Temperament can be changed to dis-temperament in diseases.
Humors are divided in 4 items: sanguine, humid or phlegm, melancholy and bile.
Palpitation is a disease, it is heart vibration and is caused by an abnormal substance in the heart itself or its membrane or other adjacent organs that would result in the heart suffering.
Conclusions: Our data of this article suggests that causes of palpitation in the aspect of traditional medicine are completely different from modern medicine.
It can help us to approach and treat this symptom better and with lower side effects than chemical drugs.
According to this article we are able to detect a new approach in palpitation.
