Clinical study on the treatment of chronic heart failure with Sacubitril/Valsartan combined with Qili Qiangxin Capsules
Objective:To explore the efficacy of Sacubitril/Valsartan combined with Qili Qiangxin Capsules on chronic heart failure and its impact on cardiac function,myocardial fibrosis indexes and neuroendocrine factors.Methods:A total of 94 cases with heart failure treated in Hebi People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as research objects.They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,47 cases in each group.The control group was given Sacubitril/Valsartan.The treatment group was added Qili Qiangxin Capsules on the basis of control group.The two groups were treated for 8 weeks.The Lee's heart failure score,6-min walking distance,and minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire(MLHFQ),cardiac function indexes,myocardial fibrosis indicators,neuroendocrine factors were compared in two groups before and after 8 weeks of treatment,respectively.The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared.Results:After 8 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of heart failure patients was 95.7%in observation group higher than that 76.6%in control group(P<0.05).After 8 weeks of treatment,the Lee's heart failure score,MLHFQ score,left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVESD),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),recombinant human Calectin-3(Calectin-3),propeptide collagen III(PCIII),soluble ST2(sST2),brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),plasma renin activity(PRA),N-Terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)were decreased in two groups,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group(P<0.05).The 6-min walking distance,left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)was increased in two groups,and the observation group was significantly higher than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusions:Sacubitril/Valsartan combined with Qili Qiangxin Capsules can significantly alleviate the clinical symptoms of chronic heart failure patients,improve cardiac function,myocardial fibrosis indicators,neuroendocrine factors.
