Abstract:
This article was aimed to study the correlation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes with re-gion factor in the first year after first ischemic stroke. Cross-sectional study was applied in the data collection of TCM four examinations among subjects in China using the same observing rating scale. The results showed that sub-jects of North China were mainly presented with the syndromes of qi-deficiency, internal-heat and phlegm-damp;subjects of Middle China were mainly presented with the syndrome of q i-deficiency; and subjects of East and South China were mainly presented with the syndrome of qi-deficiency and blood-stasis. The proportion of internal-heat was obviously higher in North China than in South China; that of phlegm-damp was remarkably higher in North Chi-na than in Middle and East China; and that of blood-stasis was significantly lower in Middle China than in East and South China. It was concluded that the distribution of internal-heat and blood-stasis was significantly affected by factor of region. Patients in North and South China differed greatly in TCM syndrome. Internal-heat is the main syn-drome in North China, while blood-stasis in South China.
