Chinese medicine plays an important role in providing medical care for people in countries with large Chinese communities, including Hong Kong.

However, due to its narrow therapeutic index, toxicities are not uncommonly encountered, including life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias like ventricular arrhythmias.
