Objective Negative emotions and pain are among the most important factors affecting the prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome.The aim of this study was to explore the value of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),and to pro-vide a reference for improving negative emotions and reducing pain levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome.Methods From January 2020 to December 2022,200 patients with acute coronary syndrome who were treated at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medicine University were retrospectively collected.Patients were divided in-to two groups according to whether they received TCM or not:the TCM inunction group(n=90)and the control group(n=110).All patients received emergency percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)and conventional therapy,while the TCM treatment group received TCM inunction.The negative emotions,pain and prognosis of the two groups of pa-tients were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in left ventricular ejection fraction,N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),pre-treatment visual analogue scale,self-rating anxie-ty scale and self-rating depression scale between the two groups of patients before treatment(P＞O.05).After treatment,compared with the control group,the left ventricular ejection fraction in the TCM inunction group was increased(P=0.001),NT-proBNP was decreased(P＜0.001),the visual analogue scale was reduced(P＜0.001),the self-rating anxiety scale was significantly decreased(P＜0.001),and the self-rating depression scale was also decreased(P＜0.001).Compared with the control group,the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events was significantly reduced in the TCM inunction method group[1.11％(1/90)vs.9.09％(10/110),P=0.031].Conclusion TCM can im-prove negative emotions,reduce pain levels,and reduce the incidence of short-term major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome after PCI.
