SBP and pulse are highest in the ascendant hyperactivity of liver yang. DBP is highest in the Phlegm-wetness. SBP, DBP and pulse are lowest in the Yin and Yang deficiency syndrome. Common comorbidities are stroke, dyslipidemia and coronary artery disease. Injury to the heart and brain accounted for the largest proportion in the liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome and Yin and Yang deficiency syndrome.
