摘要

Cardiac injury is the most serious adverse event in acupuncture therapy. The causes include needling chest points near the heart

the cardiac enlargement and pericardial effusion that will enlarge the projected area on the body surface and make the proper depth of needling shorter

and the incorrect needling method of the points. Therefore

acupuncture practitioners must be familiar with the points of the heart projected area on the chest and the correct needling methods in order to reduce the risk of acupuncture therapy related cardiac injury.
