Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the influence of L-carnitine for cardiac function and blood blood lipid in elderly chronic congestive heart failure.METHODS 116 elderly cases with chronic congestive heart failure were randomly divided into control group and experience group.56 cases of control group were given conventional therapy and 60 patients received L-carnitine quiescent point based on routine treatment.Clinical effect,cardiac function and blood lipid were compared between two groups.RESULTS Total effective rate in experience group was much higher than that in control group(88.3% vs 66.1%,P﹤0.05);Cardiac index(CI),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and E/A after treatment in experience group were superior to control group(P﹤0.05);Compared with control group,TG and TC level were greatly decreased and HDL increased in experience group(P﹤0.05).CONCLUSION L-carnitine for elderly chronic congestive heart failure can greatly improve cardiac function and regulate blood lipid.
