Abstract

The relation between “Sho” in Kampo medicine (traditional Japanese medicine) and fingertip volume pulse wave (=pulse wave) was studied. The number of patients enrolled was 147. Patients were classified into 6 groups on the basis of their prescription and subjective and objective symptoms observed at the first visit: Kitai, Kikyo, Oketsu, Kekkyo, Suitai, Jinkyo. Anacrotic pulse time in Oketsu group was significantly longer than those in other groups (p<0.01). T-wave in Suitai group was significantly higher than those in other groups (left: p<0.01, right: p<0.05). Meanwhile, T-wave in Jinkyo group was significantly lower than those in other groups (p<0.01). In addition, factors which affect pulse wave were examined. There were significant relationships among anacrotic pulse time, blood viscosity, amount of T-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol value. Moreover, T-wave showed a significant relationship to aging.
