Abstract：Professor DING Shuwen has established the theory of heat toxin for heart system diseases and found that the occurrence and development of diabetes with arrhythmia was closely related to heat toxin in clinical practice.Professor DING points out that heat toxin is the key disease mechanism of diabetes with arrhythmia.Since yin deficiency and dry heat could damage qi,blood and body fluids,diabetes could cause the pathological products such as damp heat,phlegm and blood stasis which would accumulate and finally transform into heat toxin which would lead to arrhythmia or aggravate the disease.Heat toxin of diabetes is stubborn and refractory and the fundamental treatment is clearing heat and removing toxin.In addition,according to disease duration,state of healthy qi and evil qi,and severeness of heat toxin,other methods such as activating blood and resolving stasis,invigo-rating spleen and resolving phlegm,benefiting qi and nourishing yin should also be applied.He usually uses the classical formulas or proved formulas.In addition to drug treatment,he also emphasizes improving diet,adjusting emotional state,regulating their work schedule,and also pays attention to integration of Chinese and western medicine,and simultaneous treatment of the internal and external.
