title: [Long-term changes in the different types of coronary diseases treated with traditional Chinese and Western medicine].
abstract: 64 cases with TCM differential types of CHD treated with TCM-WM in long term (an average of 10.5 years) were divided into four types according to deficiency of Yang [including weakness of Q1], deficiency of Yin, blood stasis and disorder of Qi and phlegm. Compared with pre-treatment 42 cases (65.62%) with TCM differential types showed improvement or no change in group I, II (clinical total effective rate 92.86%, the significantly effective rate 40.98%). While 22 cases (34.38%) with TCM differential type became aggravated or worse (clinical total effective rate 54.54%, the significantly effective rate 13.63%). The report indicated that the results in comparing group I, II with group III, IV were statistically significant; age (P less than 0.01), course of disease (P less than 0.01), impairment of myocardium (P less than 0.05), complication (P less than 0.05), ratio of deficiency of Yang (P less than 0.01), blood stasis (P less than 0.01) and high coagulation of blood (P less than 0.01). Therefore the author suggests that it is necessary to protect Yang-Qi and prevent and treat the complication of the CHD patients.
