title: [Syndrome differentiation patterns for peri-operative coronary heart disease patients of coronary artery bypass graft].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the patterns of Syndrome Differentiation of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) on the peri-operative coronary heart disease (CHD) patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  One week after operation, thirty-seven CHD patients, who received CABG of internal mammary artery or great saphenous vein under conventional general anesthesia with low or middle temperature extracorporeal circulation were differentiated as various syndromes, the pre- and post-operational ECG, color Doppler echocardiography as well as during and after operation. The hemodynamic parameters were monitored.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the CHD patients, 64.9% were differentiated as Qi-Yin deficiency, 67.6% were complicated with Phlegm Syndrome and 62.2% with Stasis in blood, suggesting that Qi-deficiency, phlegm and stasis are the basic pathogenesis in patients after CABG. Moreover, the peri-operative Syndrome was correlated with the condition of coronary arterial lesions, heart and lung functions before operation, and the time for extracorporeal circulation during the operation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  TCM Syndrome Differentiation conducting in peri-operative stage might be useful to explore the patterns of Syndrome alteration which provided a basis for preventing peri-operational complication and elevating success rate of operation.
