Abstract: This study was aimed to find out the relationship between the serum total cholesterol ( TC ) and coronary heart disease ( CHD ) of phlegm and blood stasis syndrome . Meta -analysis was used on the comprehensive analysis of ten research literatures on TC content of CHD patients with phlegm-turbid syndrome, blood-stasis syndrome and normal control . The results showed that the content of TC was 0.99-2.426 times h igher standard deviation in the blood-stasis syndrome patients than in the normal control, Totalcombined = 0.71. And the 95% confidence intervals of Totalcombined was 0.16-1.25. And the content of TC was 1.019-3.761 times higher standard deviation in the phlegm-turbid syndrome than in the normal control, Totalcombined= 1 . 05 . And the 95% confidence intervals of Totalcombined was 0 . 43-1 . 68 . It was concluded that there were significant variations of TC content in CHD patients with blood-stasis and phlegm-turbid syndrome compared to normal control . Therefore , abnormal changes of TC content can be used as one of the objective CHD diagnostic criteria of phlegm and blood stasis syndrome .
