    Abstract:
    An analysis of TCM syndromes is reported in 21 cases with both spontaneous and variant angina as compared with 147 cases with effort angina. The results showed that 3 characteristic features were present, which were as follows: the Biao-Shi syndrome of cold condensation was more than that of the control group in ratio of 42.86% to 3.40%; the Ben-Xu syndrome of Yang deficiency was more and that of Qi deficiency less than those in the control group, and they were in ratio of 33.33% to 6.12% and 33.33% to 72.11% respectively. An absolute reduction of blood supply resulted from coronary spontaneous spasm in both spontaneous and variant angina causes severe chest pain during attacks as a cold condensation type. Hyperfunction of parasympathetic nerves often occurring in coronary heart disease with Yang deficiency is liable to vasoconstriction of the large coronary arteries leading to episodes of both spontaneous and variant angina. The presence of less Qi deficiency type may be related to the less impairment of cardiac function resulted from the short course in these cases and only relatively mild state of an illness, even no marked lesion in coronary arteries in a part of patients with both spontaneous and variant angina. No significant difference in TCM syndromes occurred between spontaneous and variant angina. Both Yang and Yin deficiency, as the Ben-Xu syndromes, were more present in angina of cold condensation type.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
