Clinical Study on Objective Indexes of Phlegm-stasis Syndrome of Coronary Heart Disease / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

ABSTRACT

This study was aimed to explore the correlation between the phlegm-stasis syndrome of coronary heart disease ( CHD ) and multiple objective indexes in order to provide the basis for clinical study of phlegm-stasis syndrome of CHD . A total of 120 patients were divided into the phlegm-stasis syndrome group ( 76 cases ) and the non-phlegm-stasis syndrome group ( 44 cases ) . And 20 cases of healthy volunteers were selected as the normal control group . Comparison and statistical analysis were made from aspects of blood lipids , glucose metabolism , inflammation factor and etc . The results showed that the levels of total cholesterol ( TC ) , triglyceride ( TG ) , low density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C ) , fasting insulin ( FINS ) , hypersensitive C-reactive protein ( hs-CRP ) , matrix metalloproteinase-9 ( MMP-9 ) in the phlegm-stasis syndrome group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group and the non-phlegm-stasis syndrome group ( P <0.05, or P < 0.01). It was concluded that the levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, FINS, hs-CRP and MMP-9 can provide objective basis for the phlegm-stasis syndrome of CHD .
