Observation on Renin-angiopressor-aldosterone sys-tem (RAAS) in patients of Yin-deficiency of heart[J]. Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine1994, (6): 366-367.DOI: 10.13288/j.11-2166/r.1994.06.029.
The functional condition of RAAS in 33 cases of Yin -deficiency of the heart with different cardiac disorders were observed. It was found that the activity of RAAS in such patients were increased
demonstrating high level of these 3 hormones as compared with normal cases (P<0. 05 or P<0.01). This suggests that such patients present marked functional disturbance of neu-ro - humoral regulation. The rule of activity changes of RAAS in Yin - deficiency of the heart is similar to that of Qi-deficiency of the heart
though the pathological factors influencing them might be different. Authors’ Address: Affiliated Hospital of Hubei College of TCM Wuchang
