Study and Work Experience:

Being the first daughter of Dr. Liu Zhiming with first hand TCM knowledge, influenced by her father’s idealism of “upholding medical ethics, serving the public“, Dr. Liu followed her father’s footstep to pursue in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Soon after graduation, she started working at Xiangya hospital’s internal medicine, cardiology departments which lasted for longer than ten years. She had solid foundations of Western medicine combined with wealth of clinical experiences. She was known to have unconventional and unorthodox insights in her treatment for cardiovascular diseases. In 1991, in response to the call from the Ministry of Human Resources, the Ministry of Health,  and National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s objective for transferring the wealth knowledge of famous but ailing TCM doctors, Dr. Liu was recruited to study in China Academy of TCM at Guang 'anmen Hospital, under the instruction of her father, Dr. Liu Zhiming.

Her treatments, especially in arrhythmias, had distinctive results. Her treatments for ventricular, Bradyarrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, tachy-slow arrhythmia in the clinical settings also received outstanding results.
