Objective

To investigate the efficacy of Qiangxin Mixture in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF).


Methods

Sixty cases of CHF were randomly divided into Qiangxin Mixture group (treatment group,n=30) and digoxin group (control group, n=30).The total clinical effective rate,integra of the symptoms of kidney deficiency, classification of functional capacity of the NewYork Heart Association (NYHA), and echocardiogram[ejection fraction (EF), cardiac output (CO), interventricular septal thickness (IVST), posterior wall thickness (PWT), left ventricular mass index (LVMI)] as well as the measurement of plasma endothelin, angiotensin II and atrial natriuretic peptide were observed in both groups.


Results

The total clinical effective rate of Qiangxin Mixture group was 87%, and improvement was significantly observed in the Lee CHF score, classification of functional capacity of the NYHA, EF and CO(P<0.05,vs before treatment),but no significant improvement in digoxin group (P>0.05). The integra of the symptoms of kidney deficiency, the levels of plasma ET, Ang II and ANP decreased significantly (P<0.01) vs before treatment and digoxin group respectively). IVST,PWT and LVMI were also reduced significantly(P <0.01)vs before treatment;P<0.05 vs digoxin group).


Conclusion

The Qiangxin Mixture is effective in enhencing cardiac contraction,improving hemodynamics in the short-term and rectifying some indexes in the long-term,so it could postpone the processes of CHF. This mechanism may be related to decreasing the stimulating factors (angiotensin, endothelin) which trigger the cardiac remodeling, delaying or reversing the cardiac remodeling.

Key words: Qiangxin Mixture, congestive heart failure, cardiac remodeling, endothelin, angiotensin II, atrial natriuretic peptide
