Abstract

Background: In Traditional Medicine, hypertension is classified under the syndrome "Xuàn yūn" (Dizziness/Vertigo). Abnormal rheoencephalography is a functional diagnostic method that evaluates cerebral circulation, detects early atherosclerosis, and aids prognosis and treatment. This study investigates the relationship between the syndrome of Dizziness and abnormal rheoencephalography in elderly hypertensive patients. Objective: To assess the association between selected influencing factors, abnormal rheoencephalography, and clinical subtypes the syndrome of Dizziness in elderly hypertensive patients. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 183 elderly hypertensive inpatients diagnosed with the syndrome of Dizziness at the Department of General Internal Medicine – Geriatrics, Hue Central Hospital. Results: Dyslipidemia was associated with the Phlegm-Dampness syndrome. Hypertensive crisis and stage II correlated with the Liver-Yang Rising syndrome. Liver-Yang Rising syndrome was linked to increased mean blood flow velocity. Phlegm-Dampness syndrome was linked to decreased cerebrovascular resistance. Conclusion: Elderly hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia, LiverYang Rising, or Phlegm-Dampness syndrome should undergo rheoencephalography for early detection of vascular atherosclerosis. This approach enhances prognosis and treatment strategies. Integrating Traditional Medicine and modern medicine in diagnosis and treatment is essential.
