DanHong Injection in Treating 42 Patients with Chronic Pulmonary Heart Disease

Objective: To survey therapeutic effects of DanHong injection in treating chronic pulmonary heart disease and its influence on BNP. Methods: Eighty-four patients were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group. The control group received comprehensive treatment including low flow rate oxygen inhalation,controlling the infection, relieving asthma and eliminating the phlegm, diuresis, strengthening the heart, correcting electrolyte imbalance and disturbance of acid-base balance. The treatment group accepted intravenous dripping of DanHong injection each day on the foundation of routine treatment, 14 days were one course of the treatment. Arterial blood gas and plasma BNP were detected before and after treating, clinical symptoms and body signs were observed.Results: Total effective rate of the control group was 83.3%, lower than 95.2% of the treatment group with significant difference(P0.05). The treatment group was more significant than the control group in the improvements of arterial blood gas and plasma BNP(P0.05). Conclusion: DanHong injection could improve clinical symptom of the patients and the ventilation, it could decrease the concentrations of plasma BNP.
