Heart failure is a clinical syndrome that develops to the end stage of cardiovascular diseases,which has a great impact on the life,health and quality of life of patients.Constitution of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)analyzed the overall situation of people from a macro perspective,and the research found that the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine constitu-tion of patients with heart failure was different.Among them,Qi deficiency,Yang-qi deficiency and blood stasis accounted for a large proportion in the constitution classification of patients with heart failure,with less single constitution and more mixed con-stitution.There are correlations between cardiac function markers and left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with heart fail-ure of different TCM constitution types.The intervention of biased constitution can improve the symptoms of heart failure and im-prove the clinical effect.This paper summarizes the literature on the correlation between TCM constitution and heart failure,in order to provide new ideas and new plans for the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure.
