| Objective:This study was performed to observe the curative effect of the traditional Chinese herb medicine Nuanxin Capsule on the disease of chronic congestive heart failure, and through clinical experiment, probing the impact of Nuanxin Capsule on BNP in patients with chronic heart failure. Methods:1 40Patients with CHF from the inpatient department were divided randomly into two groups: the control group (treated with western medicine)and the treatment group (treated with Nuanxin Capsule as well as western medicine), there were 20 patients in each group . The treatment time was composed of one month.2 The blood-routine, urine-routine, stool-routine, blood viscosity, liver function and kidney function were examined to judge if the Nuanxin Capsule had any side-effects or toxicity.3 Observing the symptoms, signs, total effective ratios and NYHA-class. before and after the treatment, making a statistical disposal and comparing the curative effects.4 Making measurements of BNP in the blood before and after the treatment.5 Making ultrasonic examination on the patients' heart before the treatment in order to explore the correlation among plasma levels of BNP and the left ventricular function and structure in patients with CHF.Results:1 Plasma levels of BNP were increased in proportion to the severity of left ventricular dysfunction,2 With different cause, plasma level of BNP was significant difference (p... |
