Analysis on characteristics of TCM syndrome differentiation and typing of 118 cases of carotid atherosclerosis
Abstract
Objective:To explore the TCM syndrome differentiation and typing of carotid atherosclerosis.Methods:118 Cases of carotid atherosclerosis were divided into four types of syndrome:blockage of phlegm-turbid,obstruction of collaterals by blood stasis,insufficiency of qi and blood,deficiency of yin-yang.The relation between TCM type of syndrome and gender,age,body mass index(BMI) were analyzed.Results:①Syndrome of blockage of phlegm-turbid was the most frequently-occurring syndrome among the four types of syndrome(P0.05);And syndrome of obstruction of collaterals by blood stasis was the second(P0.05);② There was no differences of distribution of the same syndrome among different age and between different gender(P0.05).;③There was obvious difference of distribution of the same syndrome between people with normal BMI and with hyper BMI(P0.05);Conclusion:Syndrome of blockage of phlegm-turbid was the most frequently-occurring syndrome and syndrome of obstruction of collaterals by blood stasis was the second of carotid atherosclerosis.There was positive correlation between increasing of BMI and phlegm,stasis.
