The Theory of 'Phlegm-Qi-Stasis' in the Assessment of Taut Pulse in Hypertension
Abstract：Hypertension belongs to the category of 'dizziness' and 'headache' in traditional Chinese medicine, with emotional imbalance being the primary factor in its onset. Therefore, taut pulse is commonly observed in patients with hypertension in clinical practice. Phlegm and blood stasis are not only important factors in the development of hypertension but also often exacerbate qi stagnation, leading to a taut pulse. This article discusses the mechanisms and treatment of taut pulse in hypertension from the perspective of phlegm-qi-stasis, advocating for the separate analysis and treatment of phlegm, qi, and stasis in the management of taut pulse in hypertension.
