Objective To explore the correlativity between indexes of hemorheology and blood vessel ultrasound changes of subject with blood-stasis-tongue. Methods According to syndrome differentiation, 81 cases with blood-stasis-tongue were divided into group with tongue of phlegm retention and blood stasis and group with tongue of deficiency of Qi and blood stasis, then their indexes of hemorheology and blood vessel ultrasound examination were tested.
