Miao Lian-hai

Abstract

Objective:To observe the efficacy and the security of Shenfu Injection in elderly patients with chronic heart failure.Methods:80 cases were randomly divided into two groups with routine therapies.The treatment group was added to the Shenfu Injection.After 15 days,the exercise tolerance,the cardiac function,the echocardiography and the NT-proBNP situation were compared in two groups.Results:In the treatment group,the 6 minutes walking test and the left ventricular ejection fraction were improved significantly.However,the NT-proBNP was decreased obviously.The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was decreased remarkably.Conclusion:Shenfu Injection is significant and secure in elderly patients with chronic heart failure.
