 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 Left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with chronic heart failure and B-type natriuretic peptide and the relevance of TCM research [Abstract] Objective To investigate the chronic heart failure (CHF) left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with cardiac function (LVEF), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the correlation between TCM syndrome. Methods to collect due to different underlying cause 134 cases of CHF patients, according to New York Heart Association classification standards and TCM syndrome type grouping, and measured by radioimmunoassay in plasma BNP levels to HP Doppler ultrasound LVEF, using SPSS11.5 statistical software to analyze the intervening correlation. Results With the change in CHF syndrome (phlegm blocking the lung → Qiyinliangxu, Blood gas → water stop card yang deficiency, blood stasis water retention certificate), NYHA class and BNP gradually increased, LVEF correspondingly lower (P lt;0.05, P lt;0.01). Conclusions CHF patients with cardiac function LVEF, BNP and syndromes certain correlation between the could be used as the time of TCM clinical syndrome objective and quantitative information.

Methods One hundred and thirty-four cases confirmed to be CHF, who had different etiopathogenisises, were divided into three groups according to NYHA classification standard and TCM syndrome differentiation. BNP was determined by radioimmunoassy and LVEF was detected by Doppler ultrasound. The relationship among LVEF, BNP and TCM syndromes was analyed by SPSS11.5 software. Results When the pattern of syndromes changed (phlegmatic fluid obstructing lung → deficiency syndrome of both qi and yin and syndrome of blo
