Title: Comparison between Shenfu Injection and Shengmai Injection in treatment of chronic heart failure
Abstract: AIM To observe the difference of clinical effects on patients with chronic heart failure between Shenfu Injection based on syndrome differentiation and Shengmai Injection based on disease differentiation.METHODS One hundred and eight chronic heart failure patients were randomly assigned to three groups equally,Shenfu Injection group(group A),Shengmai Injection group(group B) and control group(group C).All groups received the regular chronic heart failure treatment,but two weeks constituted the course of treatment.The integral of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome and quality of life,Lee's heart failure integral,6-minute walking distance and amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP) were observed.RESULTS The total effective rate of group A was better than that of group B or C(P0.05).There was no statistical difference between group B and C(P0.05).Compared with pro-treatment,obvious improvement in clinical symptom and experiment index was obtained in three groups(P0.05).The integral of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome and quality of life,Lee's heart failure integral were reduced and 6-minute walking distance was increased further in group A(P0.05) after treatment.Group A was superior to group C in lowing the serum levels of NT-proBNP(P0.05).Group B was superior to group C in increasing 6-minute walking distance(P0.05).CONCLUSION Shenfu Injection shows the definite effect on chronic heart failure.
