      In Memory

      This textbook is dedicated in memory of my late parents. To Mary A Cummings (1954–2006) who passed away of heart failure and other related diseases, I am continuing to keep my promise of finding out what was wrong with you and what could have been done to prevent some of them. To my father Abdur-Rahman Qurban Al-Shura (1949–80), I followed what you advised me to do in life, and taught me to always find a way to make it happen.

      Dedication

      The writing of this textbook is dedicated to my son, Khaleel Shakeer Ryland, and his son, my grandson Khaleem Qurban Ryland. Your ancestors motivated me to find important solutions that may help some people in this world be relieved of suffering. May this legacy inspire and guide you to do the same in this life and to pass our ways on to future descendants.

      The Development, Promotion, and Ongoing Research of Integrative Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine

It was created by Dr. Anika Niambi Al-Shura in 2014 as part of her doctorate degree. Cardiology in Chinese Medicine first became an interest during her early years of study in Chinese hospitals in China in 2004–06. At the time Dr. Al-Shura got a great opportunity to travel to China to work and study. It had dawned on her that before her father died in 1980, he predicted that she would study sciences and travel east to do something important. Dr. Al-Shura decided that she could search for ways to improve on her skills and master's degree in Oriental Medicine education to help her mother, Mary, suffering from advancing cardiovascular diseases.
