[15 years' observation and related research on diagnosis and treatment according to traditional Chinese medicine of elevated serum lipids in 54 cases of coronary disease].
The increasing rate of cholesterol (CH) of 54 cases with coronary heart disease was 33.33%. According to CH level, the authors divided them into two groups: the normal one (I) and the high one (II). By fifteen-year observation, CH of Group I kept normal, only with its triglyceride (TG) a little higher than ordinary level. But the CH and TG of Group II, which had been treated with anticholesteremic drugs, was obviously higher than Group I (P less than 0.05). In connection with identification according to TCM, both CH and TG of deficiency of Yang, and deficiency of both Yin and Yang were higher, especially TG (P less than 0.01). TG of the type of blood stasis was higher (P less than 0.01) except anticholesteremic drugs for Group II. The two groups were treated with the same combined treatment of TCM and WM. The long term effect of fifteen years in Group I was more obvious than in Group II. This showed that the treatment of high serum lipid of CHD was more difficult.
