Abstract
- This study aimed at analyzing the clinical distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome on cardiovascular diseases and at providing the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Cases of cardiovascular disorder were collected on the basis of unified scales. Syndrome differentiation criteria were used in the identification of the scales. Then the distribution of TCM syndromes on cardiovascular diseases was analyzed. There were 3021 cases, including 1677 cases (55.51%) of heart-qi deficiency, 603 cases (19.96%) of heart- yang deficiency, 699 cases (23.14%) of heart-yin deficiency, 1121 cases (37.11%) of phlegm accumulation, 1624 cases (53.76%) of blood stagnation, and 2057 cases (68.10%) of the syndrome of mixed deficiency and excess. There were 517 cases (17.11%) with only deficiency syndromes and 447 cases (14.80 %) with only excess syndromes. The syndrome of the zang-fu organ is mostly related to the kidney and the spleen. It is concluded that the common clinical distribution of TCM syndromes on cardiovascular diseases is the syndrome of mixed deficiency and excess, which includes heart-qi deficiency, heart-yang deficiency, and heart-yin deficiency and excess syndromes of phlegm accumulation, blood stagnation, and qi stagnation.
