Abstract：Objective To identify the difference of plaque components between patients with and without phlegm syndrome of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) using the intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).Methods Ninety-six patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) who were underwent IVUS were observed.The cross-sectional area (CSA),extra-elastic membrane (EEM),plaque burden,percentage of fibrous tissue (FT％),percentage of fibrotic (FF％),percentage of dense calcium (DC％),percentage of necrotic core (NC％) were detected.Results There is no significantly statistical difference in CSA,EEM,plaque burden,percentage of FT％,percentage of FF％,percentage of DC;and percentage of NC between patients with and without phlegm syndrome.Patients with phlegm syndrome may have prominent high percentage of fibrous tissue (P ＜0.05).Conclusion The high FT％ in coronary plaque may be the presentation of phlegm syndrome.
