Object : The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy and Dampness-Phlegm diagnosis in cerebral infarction patients.
Methods : Among 227 of the total recruited patients, 59 patients were diagnosed as left ventricular hypertrophy. We assessed their general characteristics, risk factors, lab findings and Korean medical diagnosis. We compared the assessed variables between left ventricular hypertrophy group and non left ventricular group. We analyzed the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy and risk factors. And we also analyzed the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy and dampness-phlegm diagnosis.
Results : 1. The rate of left ventricular hypertrophy in female patients was larger than the rate of male patients. 2. There were more patients finally diagnosed hypertension in left ventricular hypertrophy group. 3. According to the analysis about the rate of Dampness-phlegm related Index for Pattern Identification by left ventricular hypertrophy, Sallow complexion and obesity were significantly higher in the left ventricular hypertrophy than in the non left ventricular hypertrophy group. 4. In multivariate analysis, Dampness-phlegm group showed close relationship with left ventricular hypertrophy.
Conclusions : According to the analysis, significance between dampness-phlegm diagnosis diagnosed group and left ventricular hypertrophy were clarified. These results can be utilized in the future as a basic material to be used for diagnosis and management of dampness-phlegm diagnosis on cardiovascular diseases.
