Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Nursing Care for a Patient with Multiple Comorbidities Complicated by Heart Failure: A Case Report
The clinical management of heart failure complicated by multiple comorbidities presents considerable challenges. In this case, the patient presented with concurrent coronary heart disease, grade 3 hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, with prominent therapeutic conflicts among the conditions. This paper summarizes the integrated Chinese and Western medicine nursing experience for this case. Refined volume management strategies were implemented, including intake and output monitoring combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) fumigation therapy and auricular acupressure. Additionally, individualized dietary intervention and emotional regulation measures such as five-element music therapy were employed. Following a 14-day intervention, the patient's edema resolved, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels decreased significantly, and symptoms including chest tightness and dyspnea were alleviated. This case provides practical reference for integrated Chinese and Western medicine nursing care in patients with heart failure and multiple comorbidities.
