Abstract

|
|
Objectives : This study was aimed to clarify the relationship between the dampness-phlegm diagnosis and internal carotid
artery stenosis by measuring carotid artery sonography in cerebral infarction patients.
Methods : One hundred eighty subjects were recruited from the patients admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine
at Kyunghee university oriental medical center from September 2008 to July 2010. We assessed one hundred eighty patients' carotid artery sonography data and diagnosed dampness-phlegm by oriental medical diagnosis. then, analyzed their characteristics, risk factor, lifestyle, metabolic syndrome, body mass index, Waist/Hip ratio(W/H ratio) and dampness-phlegm diagnosis.
Results : On the demographic variables of the patients, age, smoking, W/H ratio and dampness-phlegm group were
significantly higher in severe internal carotid artery(ICA) stenosis group than in the control group. According to the significant difference in dampness-phlegm group, we analyzed dampness-phlegm related index for pattern identifications by ICA stenosis. As a result, sputum, bowel sound, chest discomfort, slippery pulse were significantly higher in the severe ICA stenosis groupthan in the control group. In multivariate analysis, dampness-phlegm group showed close relationship with severe ICA stenosis
group.
Conclusion : According to the analysis, significance between dampness-phlegm diagnosed patients group and severe ICA stenosis were clarified. These results can be utilized in the future as a basis material.
