The Heat Transport Characteristics of the Heart and Lung Meridians: A Study of CSAP Patients and Healthy Adults

Although some important progresses were made in the field of the meridian research, no breakthroughs have been achieved. Besides,there are some problems in meridian researches. Particularly, previous research of meridian phenomena involved lots of subjective elements and outcomes.Researches that use modern scientific techniques to investigate the biological characteristics of meridian phenomenon are urgently needed. Therefore, this study is designed to assess the heat transport characteristics of the Heart and Lung meridians by infrared thermal imaging (ITI). Thus, the biological characteristics of meridian phenomena could be presented objectively in a scientific methodology
