yang deficiency

spleen deficiency

heat brewing and cold congealing.Most of the syndrome combination included four syndrome factors.Conclusion The syndrome combination is more complex in CHD complicated by depression as compared with simple CHD.Liver depression and kidney deficiency are common in CHD complicated by depression
