title: [The efficacy of electromyographic biofeedback treatment on cardiovascular disease and the correlation of type A behavior and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation].
abstract: Using the method of trilineal relaxation training, electromyographic biofeedback technic (EMGBT) in the treatment of 400 cases of cardiovascular disease was reported. There were 274 (68.5%) cases of hypertension and coronary heart disease, more than other diseases. After treatment, average systolic blood pressure reduced 1.85 Kpa (13.86 mmHg), and average diastolic blood pressure reduced 1.29 Kpa (9.73 mmHg). The treatment was more effective for the type A behavior patients, so was it in the treatment of various extrasystoles (75%). To analyse the correlation between TCM syndrome differentiation and behavior pattern, it was found that there were 90.66% of Heart Yin deficiency and Liver Yang ( ) associated with Phlegm among type A behavior patients and 82.5% of Heart Qi ( ) Yang deficiency and Qi Yin deficiency among non-type A behavior patients. By means of relaxation training, EMGBT might reduce sympathetic tone, dilate blood vessels, so as to reduce blood pressure and treat arrhythmia.
