Objective To study the pertinence on quality of life and severity degree of TCM syndromes for patients with coronary heart disease（CHD）. Methods Apply coronary heart disease（CHD） TCM efficacy evaluation system as an evaluation tool. Patients who met the inclusion criteria fill out the quality of life table（SF-36） and the clinical observation of TCM syndrome table， within 3 days admission and 3 days before discharge. To Comparison the difference of quality of life and syndrome severity each index between the admission and discharge. Results The total score of TCM syndromes has the correlation with quality of life（SF-36）， and it could reflect the progress of CHD and quality of life in patients. Dampness syndrome， qi stagnation syndrome and excess-heat syndrome are significantly correlated with the quality of life in the 11 basic syndromes. The deficient syndromes is more significantly correlated with the quality of life compared with that of excessive syndromes study in this level. There is the significant negative correlation between the quality of life and the total score of syndrome（correlation coefficient-0. 939）. Conclusions There is the significant correlation between the quality of life and the all levels of the coronary heart disease（CHD） TCM efficacy evaluation system， and the correlation of the TCM syndrome total score and the quality of life is relatively strong. As well as the quality of life， the TCM syndrome total score is also a comprehensive evaluation index of the coronary heart disease.
