Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the solar terms (specific times of the year) affect the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and its classification according to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
- Analyzing data from 430 AMI patients over five years, the findings reveal that most patients had a syndrome linked to qi stagnation and blood stasis, with notable peaks of onset during specific solar terms, particularly around the Beginning of Spring.
- The results suggest a significant correlation between certain times of the year and AMI occurrences, highlighting the importance of addressing symptoms like turbid sputum and blood stasis in treatment approaches.
