New research demonstrates that acupuncture treats premature heartbeats. A type of heart arrhythmia, a premature heartbeat is a contraction of the heart that occurs earlier than expected. This event interrupts the normal rhythm of the heart and causes the following heartbeat to be more forceful. Acupuncture applied to acupoints on the mid-back, arm and head demonstrated successful reduction of premature heartbeats in electrocardiogram studies.

Acupuncture Benefits the Heart
Premature heartbeats can occur in both the upper and lower chambers of the heart. Premature heartbeats in the upper chambers are termed premature atrial contractions and those in the lower chambers are termed premature ventricular contractions. Premature heartbeats occur both naturally and pathologically. A premature heartbeat may be a reaction to stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine. Premature heartbeats may also be precipitated by stress, insomnia, exhaustion and excessive exercise. Pathological conditions giving rise to premature heartbeats include coronary heart disease and cardiomyopathy. In the study, the researchers conclude that specific acupuncture points traditionally used to regulate the heartbeat and to calm the mind are effective for the treatment of premature heartbeats.The acupuncture points that successfully controlled premature heartbeats in patients suffering from this disorder were: DU10 (Lingtai), Shendao (DU11), Neiguan (PC6) Acupuncture Single Point Baihui, DU20.
