I received treatment at the Department of Cardiology, Xiyuan Hospital, for palpitations and chest tightness caused by long-term coronary heart disease. The physician demonstrated excellent clinical skills, with precise treatment based on syndrome differentiation. The prescribed traditional Chinese medicine formula proved effective. During the consultation, the physician was extremely patient and provided detailed explanations regarding daily precautions. After two courses of treatment, cardiac discomfort has significantly alleviated, biochemical indicators have returned to normal, and my quality of life has improved. I am sincerely grateful for the physician's meticulous care.
