Methods： Totally 254 stable CHD cases were enrolled after diagnosed by coronary angiography, their tongue appearances were recorded by the digital camera of uniform type, 29 cases with ACEs during one-year follow-up were assigned in ACEs group. The non-ACEs were matched in proportion of 2：1 according to the gender, age （± 2.5 years）, diabetes mellitus history and previous acute coronary syndrome hospitalization history in the non-ACEs group, and 54 cases were eligibly included. The differences of tongue appearance between the ACEs and non-ACEs group were compared. Results： Fifteen cases manifested with bluish tongue （including bluish-grounding or bluish purple tongue）, among which 11 cases （37.9%） in the ACEs group and four cases （7.4%） in the non-ACEs group, and there was significant difference （P〈0.002）. Twenty six cases showed yellow tongue coating in the non-ACEs group, which was significantly higher than that in the ACEs group （48.1 vs. 10.3%, P=0.001）. The tongue of sticky greasy coating was more frequently occurred in the non-ACEs group than that in the ACEs group （66.7% vs. 41.4%, P=0.026）. The proportion of purplish-red sublingual vessel was higher in the ACEs group than that in the non-ACEs group （41.4% vs. 20.4%, P=0.041）. Odd ratio （OR） analysis showed that the patients with bluish tongue, purplish-red sublingual vessel, dry-greasy or dirty greasy coating were more likely to experience ACEs during one- year follow-up （OR： 11.67, 95%CI： 3.34-40.81, P〈0.001; OR： 2.76, 95%CI： 1.02-7.44, P〈0.05; OR： 3.12, 95%, CI： 0.89-10.92, P=0.066）.
