A 44-year-old male complained of chest pain. Two years ago he was diagnosed with angina pectoris for stenosis of coronary artery in coronary angiography. Despite of medication, his chest pain aggravated to cardiovascular society classification class Ⅲ. His electrocardiogram, cardiac enzymes were normal. Accordingly we diagnosed him with unstable angina. And we pattern differentiated him with heart heat syndrome considering his other symptoms. He wanted conservative care instead of coronary artery intervention generally recommended for treating unstable angina. We treated him for 13-days with tongxinluo, modified daochi-san, acupuncture, smoking prohibition which were thought to be effective for treating unstable angina based on experimental, clinical studies. Within the therapeutic period, frequency of chest pain and frequency of taking nitroglycerin were on the decrease.
