Treatment for 87 Cases of Chronic Heart Failure with Qi Deficiency and Blood Stasis Syndrome Using Yiqi Huoxue Compound Combined with Routine Therapy
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Yiqi Huoxue Compound(YQHXC)on chronic heart failure with Qi De-ficiency and Blood Stasis Syndrome.Methods A total of 90 chronic heart failure patients with Qi Deficiency and Blood Stasis Syn-drome who visited the expert clinics and hospitalised of the Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medi-cine were selected.90 patients were divided into Chinese medicine group and Western medicine group according to different treat-ment places,45 cases in each group.All the two groups were given standardized treatment according to the guidelines for chronic heart failure.On this basis,the Chinese medicine group was treated with YQHXC,and compared the changing of the 6-minute walk test(6MWT),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor(NT-proBNP),TCM syndrome score,Minnesota Quality of Life Scale for Heart Failure(C-MLHFQ)score based on Chinese culture modifica-tion.Results Before treatment,there was no difference in all aspects between the two groups,and thus the data were comparable(P>0.05).After treatment,compared with the Western medicine group,the observation indexes of 6MWT,LVEF,NT-proBNP,TCM syndrome scores,and C-MLHFQ in the Chinese medicine group were better than those in the Western medicine group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).The two groups presented decreased in NT-proBNP,TCM syndrome scores and C-MLHFQ(P<0.001)while increased in 6MWT and LVEF(P<0.001)after treatment as compared with those before treatment,and the Chinese medicine group had more decrease or increase than the Western medicine group(P<0.001).Conclu-sion YQHXC combined with conventional Western medicine therapy can improve the clinical symptoms of patients with chronic heart failure with Qi deficiency and Blood stasis,improve the exercise tolerance and the quality of life of the patient,and then ef-fectively improve the long-term prognosis of the chronic heart failure patients.
