Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Acupuncture point, or acupoint, therapy in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can effectively protect the heart and relieve symptoms of cardiovascular disease.

In the United States, every 33 seconds, one person dies of cardiovascular disease, and each year, over 800,000 people have a heart attack. Cardiovascular disease kills more than 17.3 million people worldwide annually. By 2030, it could increase to more than 23.6 million deaths yearly, according to statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
