Clinical Study of Warm Acupuncture on Chronic Heart Failure Patients with Gastrointestinal Dysfunction
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of warm acupuncture on chronic heart failure(CHF)pa-tients with gastrointestinal dysfunction.Methods:A total of 80 CHF patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction were screened and divided into two groups according to random number table method with 40 cases each.The con-trol group received conventional treatment,and the observation group received warm acupuncture.Both groups were continuously treated for 4 weeks.The left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),6-minute walking distance(6MWD),gastrointestinal symptom score,and gastrointestinal symptom rating scale(GSRS)score were compared before and after treatment.Results:After treatment,the LVEF and 6MWD in 2 groups were increased;the BNP,gastrointestinal symptom score,and GSRS score were decreased,and the obser-vation group was better than the control group(P＜0.05).The clinical effect in the observation group was 95.00％,which was better than 77.50％in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Warm acupuncture can improve cardi-ac function,increase exercise tolerance,and alleviate clinical symptoms in CHF patients with gastrointestinal dys-function.
