| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To study the relationship between circadian rhythm variation of blood pressure and TCM syndrome pattern in patients with old aged essential hypertension(EHPT).[Methods] The 67 patients with old aged essential hypertension were selected,their circadian rhythm variation of blood pressure and TCM syndromes were determined.[Results] 1)The incidence of circadian rhythm abnormality of EHPT was high and most of the EHPT patients had a dipper blood pressure.2)The most common syndrome was stagnation of blood stasis syndrome,the next was phlegm damp syndrome,the rest was deficiency syndrome of both Yin and Yang,asthenic Yin causing predominant Yang.[Conclusion] TCM syndrome pattern is related to circadian rhythm variation of blood pressure in old aged essential hypertension.The damage of target organ and the prognosis can be judged by differentiation of TCM syndrome. |
