- Abstract: Objective To clarify the predominant symptoms of PH and their correlation with clinical indicators by collecting Chinese medicine clinical syndromic data of patients with pulmonary hypertension(PH).To provide a basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of Chinese medicine.Methods Adopting a cross-sectional study method,from January 2020 to July 2021,the cardiovascular ward of Guang'an men Hospital of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine was in line with the patients with the diagnosis of PH.A total of 298 patients'data were collected,and 236 patients were included in this study by excluding factors such as incomplete data and repeated hospitalization.The clinical data of the patients were organized,analyzed and counted.The distribution pattern of symptoms and syndrome types of PH was derived,and the correlation between syndrome elements and hemodynamics,cardiac function,and coagulation function was explored.Results The eight syndrome elements of PH in this study were,in descending order,blood stasis>Qi deficiency>water stagnation>phlegm turbidity>blood deficiency>yang deficiency>yin deficiency>qi stagnation;The eight syndrome types were in the order of high to low:Qi deficiency and blood stasis,spleen and lung deficiency,blood stasis and water stagnation,phlegm and water stagnation,phlegm and blood stasis stagnation,phlegm and water stagnation,yang deficiency and water stagnation,phlegm and turbid obstruction of lungs,and deficiency of both qi and yin;Qi deficiency was negatively correlated with Systolic pulmonary artery pressure(SPAP),and water stagnation was positively correlated with SPAP;Qi deficiency was negatively correlated with cardiac function grading,and water stagnation and phlegm turbidity evidence were positively correlated with cardiac function grading.Conclusion Blood stasis is the core pathogenesis of PH,and the clinical manifestations and symptoms of PH patients gradually transformed from qi deficiency through blood stasis to phlegm turbidity and water stagnation."Stasis"is present throughout the course of PH disease and has a significant impact on the progression of PH.
