Summary

Background and objective: Stroke, which means sudden onset of cerebral vascular accident. The earliest document was found in "Neijing". The ancient physicians had different opinions and points of view on the etiology and pathogenesis of stroke. Before the Tang and Song dynasty, the "exopathic wind" theory was talked about. And, after then, the "endogenous wind" theory was put forward. While in the Ming dynasty, Zhang Jing-Yue advocated that "Stroke is not caused by wind etiology'', highlighting the much difference of the thinking. Until nowadays, many famous physicians have their own unique way to determine the etiologic factor based on differentiation. To be practical, objectivity differentiating and determining the etiologic factor of stroke is the foundation of establishing the treatment guidelines. The investigators aim to establish the scientific epidemiological standard of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes of acute ischemic stroke in Taiwan.
