经穴—脏腑相关理论是经络学说的核心

每条经脉在体表既有特定的循行路线

又以其所属的脏腑而命名

正如《灵枢·海论篇》记载:“夫十二经脉者

内属于脏腑

外络于肢节”

表明经络与脏腑是不可分割的一个整体。“心主手厥阴心包络之脉

起于胸中

出属于心包络……

是主脉The theory of acupoint-Zangfu correlation is one of the essential contents of the doctrine of Channel and Collateral. Being based on this theory

a study has been done from the experimental research point of view in our laboratory since 1979

to approach the specific interrelationships between some acupoints on the pericardial channel and heart

as well as their functional regularities

and has served for clinical practice

which provided the basis for the research on the connective pathways between the pericardial channel and heart.
