Abstract：Acute coronary syndrome(ACS)is a life-threatening condition that poses a significant threat to patient health.As a traditional therapy in Chinese medicine,acupuncture has demonstrated unique advantages as an adjunctive treatment for ACS,with its therapeutic efficacy well acknowledged.Despite considerable progress in the application of acupuncture for cardiovascular diseases,comprehensive and systematic reviews of the literature on acupuncture for ACS remain limited.Therefore,this study is based on a large body of previous research and provides a detailed analysis of acupoint applications in acupuncture-assisted treatment of ACS,focusing on key aspects such as acupoint selection,combination principles,needling techniques and principles,treatment timing,frequency of acupuncture sessions,and needle retention duration.By synthesizing evidence from both historical and contemporary sources,this study aims to develop a more systematic and comprehensive acupuncture protocol for clinical practice.In addition,current research limitations are discussed,and potential solutions are proposed,with the goal of informing future clinical applications and research directions.
