Since stasis may lead to deficiency and vice versa, CHD cannot be cured without removal of stasis, and stasis cannot be completely re-moved without proper correction of deficiency. The basic method for the treatment of CHD is therefore activation of blood for reduction of stasis. At the same time, according to the conditions of individual patients, the methods of replenishing Qi, warming Yang, nourishing Yin, reducing phlegm and subduing Yang should be applied simultaneously to resolve the problem of deficiency. The author treated 80 cases of CHD by the above rationale and found the results satisfactory, i.e., 28 cases (35%) showed marked symptomatic relief, 46 (57.5%) showed symptomatic improvement, while 6 cases (7.5%) failed. The total effective rate was 92.5%. ECG examination indicated 9 cases markedly effective, 27 improved, while 44 cases failed, for a total effective rate of 45%. Blood pressure and blood lipids also showed signifi-cant drops (P【 0.001).展开更多
