Some parameters of blood-stasis, yin deficiency, and yang deficiency in patients with remote myocardial infarction

This paper demonstrates some investigations on the differentiation of symptom-complex for old myocardial infarction patients (OMI). Among total 100 cases, 20 cases of blood-stasis type, 28 cases of Yin deficiency type and 52 cases of Yang deficiency type. Several laboratory investigations had been carried out for them. The results indicated the level of HDL-C was decreased, LDL-C was increased, ratio of HDL-C/TC was also decreased, platelet aggregation test (PAgT) was increased, factor VIII related antigen (VIII R: Ag) was elevated, among the above 3 types, especially in Yin deficiency group, showed statistically significant. In Yin deficiency group, the ACG tracing demonstrated late bulge type or in a plateau form, A/E-O greater than or equal to 15%. Yang deficiency group, SV, CO, CI were decreased, when compared with Yin deficiency all P value less than 0.01. Among 3 differentiation symptom-complex, microcirculation changes and degree of blood-stasis were in same appearance.
