RESUMEN
Objective To collect information from the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)four diagnostic information of patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)and to observe the characteristics of their Chinese medicine syndrome factor at different ages,to provide an objective basis for the Chinese medicine treatment of patients with CHD at different ages.Methods The TCM Four Diagnostic Information Collection Scale for CHD developed by the group was used to collect the four diagnostic information of patients with coronary heart disease,and the syndrome elements were extracted according to the syndrome differentiation standard to observe the distribution of syndrome elements at different ages.Results CHD is located in the heart and accompanied by liver,kidney,stomach,lung and other organs.Qi deficiency is the most common syndrome factor,followed by phlegm turbidity,yin deficiency,blood stasis and qi stagnation.Among the syndrome elements of disease location,the heart and liver were the most common in the young group,and the heart and kidney were more common in the middle-aged group and the elderly group.Among the syndrome elements of disease nature,qi deficiency was more common in the young group,phlegm turbidity and qi stagnation were more common in the empirical group,and qi deficiency and phlegm turbidity were the most frequent.In the middle-aged group,qi deficiency was more common in deficiency syndrome,phlegm turbidity and blood stasis were more common in excess syndrome,and the frequency of qi deficiency and phlegm turbidity and blood stasis was the highest.In the elderly group,qi deficiency and yin deficiency were more common in deficiency syndrome,phlegm turbidity and blood stasis were more common in excess syndrome,and qi and yin deficiency combined with phlegm turbidity and blood stasis had the highest frequency.Conclusion The combination of syndrome elements in patients with CHD in different age groups has its own characteristics.The young,middle and elderly groups are all visible in the mixture of deficiency and excess,while the young group is the most common with qi deficiency and phlegm turbidity,the middle-aged group is the most common with qi deficiency and phlegm turbidity and blood stasis,and the elderly group is the most common with qi and yin deficiency and phlegm turbidity and blood stasis.With the increase of age,the complexity of the combination of syndrome elements is higher.
