Abstract

Objective: This study reports improvements in chest pain, palpitations, dyspnea, and morphea following surgical aortic valve replacement following treatment with Korean medicine. Methods: A patient received Korean medicine treatment, including acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal formulas such as Chilgi-tang, Insamyangyoung-tang, and Bojungikki-tang-gamibang. The patient's improvement was evaluated using the numeric rating scale (NRS), the modified localized scleroderma skin severity index (mLoSSI), and antinuclear antibody (ANA) tests. Results: After receiving Korean medicine treatment, the patient showed improvement in the NRS, mLoSSI, and ANA results. Conclusion: This case suggests that Korean medicine may be effective in treating chest pain, palpitations, dyspnea, and morphea following surgical aortic valve replacement.
