Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: According to the TCM standard of Syndrome Differentiation of Deficiency Syndrome, 194 patients with AMI were classified into the typical Yin-deficiency group (n = 26), the non-typical Yin-deficiency group (n = 61) and the non- Yin-deficiency group (n = 107). Their venous blood samples were collected in the morning while lying on their backs to detect plasma levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline, aldosterone, atrial natriuretic peptide ( ANP), corticoid and myocardial enzymes, as well as their hospitalization days and mortality in hospitalized period were calculated and compared in the three groups, with the 30 healthy persons as control. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Patients with AMI of Yin-deficiency type was severer in myocardial damage, with longer hospitalization period and higher mortality, it is probably due to the hyper-activated sympathetic- adrenaline system and strengthened activity of aldosterone in them.
