ABSTRACT
Clinical observation demonstrated that the syndromes in Qi- stagnation Blood - stasis and Qi- deficiency Blood- stasis were characterized by manifestations in the face, tongue, nail and pulse. In addition to the changes of increase in C/HS, h4/hl, RT, stagnation aggregation of RBC in microcirculation, sluggish flowing which were common to both disorders, exams of facial hemotachogram microcirculation of the tongue and, nails, sphygmobologram and cardiac vascular functions revealed that, in the patient of Qi -stagnation Blood - stasis. HD, /[ + ], h3/n, w/twere all markedly increased with spasm of capillary loops, lowered AC flocculent blood flowing and other abnormalities of peripheral vessels, suggesting that normal cardiac output and high peripheral resistance were the pathophysiological features of Qi- stagnation Blood -stasis, while most of the patients with Qi - deficiencyBlood--stasis revealed HS, HS/. [t4-t1]/t, t1/tand marked lowering of 4 parameters (Sr, Co, SI, CD of hypofunction of the heart, short capillary loops with blurring, poor filling, poor perfusion of blood, suggesting that low cardiac pumping and low cardiac output were the pathophysiological characteristics of Qi - deficiency Blood - stasis syndrome.
