Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effect of Qiliqiangxin capsule on clinical efficacy, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP), left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and Tei index in elder patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).

Methods

A total of 170 elder patients with CHF were collected from June 2014 to July 2015 in the clinic of Yunnan Second People′s Hospital.All the patients were randomly divided into two groups by random number table method.In the control group, 85 patients were treated with standard treatment for heart failure.In the treatment group, 85 patients were given Qiliqangxin capusule additionally(4 granules, 3 times daily). The course of treatment was 3 months.The clinical efficacy, NT-proBNP, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD), LVEF and Tei index of both groups were observed and compared before and after treatment.

Results

After 3 months of treatment, clinical efficacy of the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group(88.1% vs.63.4%, P<0.05). In both groups, NT-proBNP levels, LVEDD and Tei index were significantly reduced after treatment(P<0.05), and LVEF was significantly increased(P<0.05). In addition, the improvements of the above indicators in the treatment group were better than those in the control group(P<0.05). Side effects were neither found in the two groups.

Conclusion

Qiliqiangxin capsule can further reduce the level of NT-proBNP, LVEDD and Tei index, increase LVEF, and improve the cardiac function in elder CHF patients who received standard heart failure treatment with good safety.

Key words: Heart failure, Qiliqiangxin capsule, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, Left ventricular ejection fraction, Tei index
